Beautiful Magnolia Tree

[paulhillion]

For the last couple of weeks they've started coming into bloom in gardens all over Guernsey. I do gardening for a living and this is a tree in a garden I was working in yesterday, i just had to go home and get my camera as it looked so beautiful!

Looks so beautiful against that sky. I am also a Gardener by profession, they are lovely trees aren't they?

Yes, lovely photo -- captures the fullness of the tree. Spring is here. In Carolina we call these "tulip trees." These and the redbud trees always make me smile. Here's my take (1/200, f8, ISO400).

We call them Chinese Magnolia. The southern Magnolia is more common here, thus called "Magnolia". Beautiful shot, Paul.
