Beneath the Magnolia Tree
Alluring fragrance
cloaks my senses with desire
my thoughts full of you,
I anticipate your kiss
'neath the magnolia tree.

This is a poem I resurrected as these magnificent blooms are just starting to appear. Each one a work of art. I need to grab my tripod each morning and evening and get true crisp shots. These aren't bad as I had to hurry and snap with three dogs and countless kids in tow.
and a treatment using Kim Klaussen's "Chase" texture below and linked to her "Texture Tuesday" weekly challenge. If anyone is ever interested in learning about textures, she is the first person I would recommend. She has wonderful internet classes.

just gorgeous! love these southern belles!
The only negative I can think of to living in the High Desert country of Oregon ~~~ no magnolia trees!
BEAUTIFUL photos - just exquisite! And a lovely poem, too!
Wonderful poem Margaret, and what a magnificent series of my very favorite flower.
Thank you! I do love this time of year when I can sit under the Magnolia tree! Expect a LOT of photos of these beauties in the next few weeks.
Not sure which I enjoyed more, the poem or the photos...they both were just amazing!
Beautiful photography! Especially the 1st and 4th photos. Lovely poem. :)
