The Magnolia Tree It stands tall in splendor with its glossy green leaves reaching out to the sun. Just its mere presence makes you feel so small. Magnificent in stature long after its birth, It's trunk remains rooted well to the earth. Strictly a Southern treasure which is well-recognized, A heritage shows with every sunrise. Many frontier tales can sound its power, while ancestors can remember waiting for its abundant bloom. White blossomed flowers delicate for a bride, yet large enough for plentiful bouquets of resplendent wealth to the eyes of the beholder. Yes, for all to see is the beauty of a tree. Much to my amazement is gazing upon this gift of nature, One sees the deep lines of life weaving its story. The Magnolia Tree is one of glory. Karen Egleston

What delightful detail! I love the way the flower is surrounded in shadows. I think I would have tried to brush those little pieces of stuff off the petals, but maybe you can do that digitally... or maybe it is just some sort of metaphor... no matter how beautiful, there are always flaws... or not. :-P Thanks for sharing!

Nice closeup of this Magnolia blossom. I like how the blossom is colorful but the back part is B&W. The soft creamy shade is lovely. Enjoyed the information on the tree rendered in such a poetic manner. Nice work here :)

Looks beautiful Tracey.The B&W effect behind this blossom really makes this picture look inviting. The sunlight and shadows really help give it a soft appeal.
