Flowers/Fragile

In an exuberant response to an unusual warm spell, these magnolias burst into bloom a good month before they ought to have done. Silly things! This is New England. Even a mild winter does not relinquish its control willingly. Tonight, temps are getting down into the 20s and these lovely fragile flowers will be blistered and browned by morning.

  3. Same thing happening here...our daffodils are already gone (and they usually don't bloom until mid April)

    This is just gorgeous...love the way the light is shining through those blooms making them even brighter!

  4. Wonderful lighting . . . hope the blossoms survived and the weather prediction was incorrect.
