Magnolia Blossoms

The temperature hits the 80's today causing the magnolias to start opening. I used my 55-250mm lens to blur the background as much as I could.

The purple is luscious

Very pretty color and composition. Love magnolias. Almost looks like a carving.

@kerristephens - Thank you very much Kerri!

@tigerdreamer - Thank you so much Karen!

@danette - I really had my patience tried. It was so windy there was hardly time to snap the shutter between blasts. I ended up taking 120 photos of the magnolias and the daffodils

Lovely colours and comp. The background brings it out well.

@lynnb - Thank you Lynn! I didn't recognize you. I am so use to the goose :)

@skipt07 haha...I'm not feeling like such a 'goose' about my photos...I can stand up proud behind (most) of them now!!

[Simply Amanda]

These are my favorite spring blooms!. Lovely!

@amandal - I look forward to them too. The sad thing is that two days after I took this it got pretty cold and now all the blossoms are brown. Every tree that I have seen got hit. :(

@skipt07 We had a wicked hail storm that wrecked many of our blossoms. So sad!

[Sandra]

Fantastic shot and I love magnolias.

@sjwyatt30 - Thank you very much Sandra! A day or two after I took this picture it got down into the 20's and most magnolia blossoms turned brown. However this tree doesn't look quite as bad as the many of the others.
