I was out cruising for good photo shots today, and went to my old neighborhood, and I was so happy, I discovered a nice big Magnolia tree. I didn't even know they grew in Oregon! So I pulled up under it and took a few photos. I hope you like this one. It was a real treat for me. Thx

Hi Verena...

This is truly beautiful...the clarity is remarkable...the colors stunning...really lovely my dear...green and white have always been a showy combination of colors...as you know!!

The stamen are outstandingly pronounced...You did a fine job on this and I commend you... one my favorites of your work...and there are many... indeed...of course...I will always remember 'Haystack'...as my very favorite!! What an image that was!! ;o)

The 4th of July weekend was beautiful here in MI...Hope it was grand for you!! Oh how I have often said to you...that I envy your location...the great state of Oregon...what constant photographic opportunities are offered to you...and all at your finger tips...I can only imagine!!

Nice done...Verena...

My Best to you...
