That's The Spirit!

Star magnolia blossoms remaining after the recent Winter blast glowed defiant in this morning’s Spring sunshine. I love their spirit! Each time I passed the window, they called to me; and even with damaged petals, I found them beautiful!

I like viewing this image best on the black background.

Thank you very much for your visits, encouraging words, and favs recently. You all are so kind! I really appreciate your time and interest in my project. :-)

Wonderful dof and light in this shot Janet, with your bokeh background makes it beautiful. And I see you used a 50mm. I've got to put mine back on my camera. :)

So beautiful and soft looking. That nasty little winter blast has done some damage to the precious flowers.

Excellent capture, love the dof and the light and soft bokeh in the backdrop. And like you, also in a flower with damaged petals, I can see infinite beauty. Huge fav.

I love these magnolias that are out in bloom now. Lovely shot of these delicate flowers.

These are so lovely, wonderful capture.

Love the delicate shapes and soft bright light--the white flowers with their occasional touch of brown are beautiful against that bokeh, fav for me.
