Every Spring I walk by a house in our neighborhood, gawk at the gorgeous pink tree that I've erroneously called a Dogwood, and think "I should take a picture of that." And every Spring, I forget until a big storm comes and knocks down all of the blossoms. Or when I finally do get my camera, I notice the flowers are all faded. Well not this year!
Behold, the beauty of a Saucer Magnolia* in full bloom...

I suppose it's not technically Spring yet, but what with all the blooming going on in Sacramento, you'll have to forgive me for being confused. |
