A half open magnolia. In the last 5 days the change in the appearance of plants and trees is almost unbelievable. It looks as though spring came out with a vengeance.

I've only ever seen the front of these large blossoms, so it's rather cool to see how coarse the receptacle and sepal really are.

We are not seeing that big push of spring yet but perhaps by early next week. This magnolia bud portrait is lovely.

Warm air and sunshine are generally good for what ails anything Raj.
Super closeup.

That seems the way of it...you wait and wait and no spring...then suddenly there it is...a wonderful surprise...nice closeup of this opening magnolia bud.

I agree with you, Raj, so I suppose that the magnolia is completely opened after another wink from you.
Conclusion: a very fine and perfectly timed image, ☺ !

The textures are interesting, gives you another insight into nature's creations. I actually really love this view, it's unique, and well, more natural in a way than all the sleek shiny vibrant colors we usually see. Composition superb, yup, a favorite for me!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
