But it Takes A Lot to Love a Leaf

Anyone can love a rose,
but it takes a lot to love a leaf.
It's ordinary to love the beautiful.
but it's beautiful to love the ordinary.

The saucer magnolia will still have a few blooms but the "show" is over until next year. The tree is starting to leaf with our early spring weather. Nice on Black.

Do you have enough magnolia photos to do your Magnolia April this year? I always love seeing your magnolia pics, even the ones after the blooms like this one.
