The Magnolia Tree


I was sitting at the dinner table when I looked out the dining room windows and saw our neighbor's Magnolia tree in the late afternoon sunlight.  I gobbled the last bits of dinner, and grabbed my camera and went out to investigate.  I don't thnk the tree was at it's peak yet, but it sure is beautiful.


The brilliant blooms were even more spectacular when seen against the blue sky - the contrast only heightened the brilliance of each color.


I kept photographing the tree after the sunlight was off of the blossoms.  Notice how the color of the blossoms seems to change.  Without the sunlight, the light from the sky is more blue and so the blossom are more purple.  So many different ways to see this beautiful tree.

Beautiful tree and all the photos are so different with the change in lighting. Joan

What an amazing contrast between the 2nd and 3rd photos just because of the lighting. Magnolias are so pretty. Betsey
