Sunshiny Morning

It is still quite cool but the bright morning sun beckoned me out to take a buggy ride. I still had to put on a sweater and windbreaker and wear gloves but out I went! Although I took the camera there was very little to capture except for the images below. I took my time and stayed on the pothole-filled dirt roads in the area. I did see some pretty tulips in bloom but they were in a place where I couldn't ambulate so I sat still for a bit and enjoyed their many colors. The magnolia tree was on private land but I did manage to zoom in to capture the shots below. It was a huge tree and very beautiful.

On the last lap heading for home, way out in the lake, I saw three little Canada geese with parents bucking the windy waters. These goslings weren't evident until today. Further on I saw the male Mallard following the female. I'm sure there will be a brood of ducklings in a few days. I like my rideabouts!

Magnificent Magnolias

Yesterday these essential southern plants showed mostly large glossy leaves and buds. Today before the heavy rains and winds hit I managed to capture their full large blossom beauty. Now the open blossoms are torn apart and only fallen petals remain.

Personally, I favor the white variety over the pink. When the sweet magnolia tree's fragrance fills the air you know you're in the South!
