This year spring came early, like a party guest ringing the doorbell before I’d had time to dress. I was caught off guard, flustered. Lovely to see you, Spring, but not so soon! I simply wasn’t ready.
The sudden spring made me wary. I observed the emerging buds and blooms with skepticism, certain of fraud. Yet, here we are. The lilacs in full bloom, the lake ice a distant memory, and the birds at my window in full voice. Did I nearly miss the magnolia blossoms’ splendor as I blinked my eyes in disbelief? Like souvenirs, the pictures help me to understand my experience and convince me that I really did witness this fleeting and absolute beauty.

Love this picture. It looks like magnolias painted on linen. Very fragile.
Great job with all your pictures at the Mill City Museum.
Beautiful !!
I, too, have noticed the magnolias and others, they are quite the beauty.
