Star Magnolia

My star magnolia is in full bloom. It makes me happy. We planted it as a tiny tree in the 1990's and now it is huge. I took this with a long zoom to see how I likd the dof and like how it turned out. We've been having wonderful Spring weather with it pouring one moment and the sun out the next!
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

This is lovely. I have one but don't think mine's in flower yet, it seems too early. My camellia is almost out though - hope we don't get any frost!

Another gorgeous shot Jane. Just the right dof to give a little background interest and bokeh. Lovely

DOF & background came out perfectly...looks really great. Perhaps a bit of detail lost on the flowers, but excellent effect!
