DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!

DeleteBeautiful, I love magnolias. Always breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteThey are, CJ

ReplyDeleteHow heartbreaking, Rick. Couldn't they have built around it :)
DeleteLovely slideshow! I just looove seeing the magnolias blooming at this time of year - they're so beautiful. We don't have one but lots of others in our neighbourhood do! :-)
ReplyDeleteAll the joy and none of the bother, Naomi.
