It’s not often that I take the 5 in 5 minute photos for Sandi’s Five in Five Meme on the fifth and post them on the fifth. Today the weather cooperated, and we got back to the park for another look at the magnolias. When we went last week, we hoped to go every day to watch the progression of the magnolias, as well as the other flowering trees and plants. A combination of busy schedules and rainy weather kept us away. Today’s weather was perfect, and because it was a Sunday it was busier than usual at the park. This is also the fifth month in a row that I’ve combined a photowalk with the Five in Five meme. The first five photos are for the meme, although I had enough tulip photos that would have qualified as well. Here’s a look at the magnolias as we walked down the hill.
I’ve long been a huge fan of the yellow magnolias. There are only two or three of them in the park.
Of course, there are the lovely pinks as well.
And daffodils:
And the tulip beds:
And gorgeous flowering trees:
I’ll leave you with this charming photo of a group of Amish girls having a group portrait taken.
Wow – your photos are so lovely! Really enjoyed seeing all these beautiful colors today & that last photo is so unique.
These are beautiful. I love the first tulip shot. I’ve never seen a yellow magnolia before. What a stunning park.
Such a lovely showcase of magnolias.
A delightful walk through your photos this morning. Yellow magnolias are not common on the west coast or maybe I’ve not driven in the right neighborhood. So glad spring has arrived for you to share with us.
I enjoyed that walk. Our magnolia was stripped half bare by the heavy rain this weekend, but I can take comfort that the lilacs should peak this week. Lilacs, like daffodils, remind me of my childhood.
Some truly gorgeous shots in this bunch! Must have been an awesome walk!
