Magnolia

 Just Flowers

I went out to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum this morning to see if I could catch some magnolias in full bloom. I was almost too late as most of the flowers were past their prime but there were still a few beauties remaining.

“Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small it takes time – we haven’t time – and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.”
― Georgia O’Keeffe

There are a few more wildflowers in bloom and a few of the early crab apple trees were already in bloom too. It’s the time of year for lots of changes.

Here are some photos of the beauty that I found on my walk-about today.

May you walk in beauty.
