Magnolias and Spring sunsets in Tauranga...


Days are getting longer here, mornings are becomming lighter - guess Spring is here and I couldn't be happier. On the way home last night I spotted this pretty tree covered in Magnolia flowers on the corner of the road opposite the supermarket.


The flowers close up are so lovely - nothing better than these to cheer us up as a reminder that warmer weather and brighter colours are on the way...

That's the cool thing about your Spring and our Fall, they both will include great colors. I'm sad to see the Summer fade.

I love Magnolias too. We have one named "Susan". My wife is Susan.

Happy Spring Amy! I would be thrilled if I were you... Not being a winter person, I used to be so glad when early spring arrived. Now we miss that season, because Florida really doesn't change much .... And we don't get back to the nOrthwest until later in the summer.

Oh yes, magnolias are the harbinger of spring. Here in my part of California, they arrive as early as mid January.

I love how we are opposite seasons from each other. I guess the earth really is round.

I thought spring was coming too, but then today it was cold and raining, reminding me it is still winter. Wish I had a lovely magnolia tree to look at.
