magnolia blossoms
foregrounded before sunrise—
bird chorus
Spring is proceeding at a frantic pace--in the 80s already--though the season does not officially start until later this week. One of the joys of spring for me is when our old and stately magnolia blossoms in the back yard. I watch it all times of the day and night (though you can't really see the colors at night, but you can still sense the enveloping presence of hundreds of blossoms above you.) Last Tuesday when the unseasonably warm weather moved in, it started to bloom.
Today it's in full bloom. As clouds billow and occasionally block the sun, the colors of the flowers keep changing with the light. A moment ago, a red cardinal alighted on a branch. How roguish he looked among the extravagant blossoms.
