    How lovely in monochrome. The subdued tones really emphasize the sea of blossoms on the tree.

    A lovely homage to Spring. And I love the way the topmost blossoms are strivig to reach the sunshine.

    I've posted on this beautiful tree today, too. This is the true start of spring for me.

    How beautiful! My magnolia tree won't bloom for another couple of weeks here in Ohio.

    Lovely shot. I would usually say I like flowers in color, but this is very nice in B&W. Mickie :)

    Wonderful rich texture in black and white. My SSS is B&W as well, but are from an old film project from the 1970's.
    The magnolias look fantastic. We're weeks behind here in Wisconsin weatherwise. I'm jealous!

    Peace

    I'm feeling a little magnolia envy here. I have a star magnolia which hasn't produced flowers yet, though I've had it three years or more. Seems like a late frost always ruins the buds. Lovely photo.
