Weatherman was calling for rain yesterday, but when I woke it was just overcast with a slight breeze, so I headed out to look for photo possibilities. After becoming frustrated with increasing breezes most of the morning, things finally calmed down a bit and just in time for another sighting of a beautiful magnolia at peak or just past peak . The stone home with blue shutters was a perfect complement to the pink hues of the tree, and the carpet of freshly fallen petals made it a must shoot scene.

Beautifully captured.
Thank you
One of those images that proves that spring is so fleeting. One day buds appear, the next the flowers open, then (what seems like) the next all of the petals drop to the ground like the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter films. Really nice!
That is so true. A day or two can make a huge difference.
Donnie, you are so talented. I am Paula Meloy’s older sister Molly. I don’t think you remember me, but I have enjoyed your UTube videos and now these fantastic pictures. You really have an “eye” for this type of work. Blessings and Light,
Molly Meloy Kelly
Are you sure you have the right person? I have no you-tube videos.
