We stumbled upon this incredible tree a couple of weekends ago, right at golden hour. Isn't it just breathtaking? All of these pictures are from the same tree, over about a fifteen minute period, just after dinner. Beautiful tree.

Gorgeous pictures! My favorite tree. Thanks for sharing.

It's really gorgeous. Isn't it amazing how the blossoming trees change with the light? I was out taking photos of my plum trees at sunset last night. They were glowing.

Wow, that is stunning! It must be nice to have spring (we just beat the record amount of snowfall here!).

Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos Alicia. <3

My word!! that is beautiful!!

That is so gorgeous! I just love magnolia trees. Ours here haven't bloomed yet, but I'm really looking forward to it!

Absolutely breathtaking, I love magnolias. There is the most stunning white one about a half hour's drive from here. I love wandering round suburbia when they're all in flower. I ordered a tiny white one the other day. I have big dreams for it. CJ xx

Oh, the Magnolia trees in my neighborhood are so lush this year. With the strange weather we've been having - they seem to be making the most of themselves.
This weekend with the powerful winds & rain, the tiny blossoms from other trees looked like snow wiping around.
It was beautiful.

Oh my goshness! Portland in spring. Ain't nothing like it. Thank you for this vicarious pleasure <3

From the East Coast - we thank you! We'll get there....

What a glorious magnolia!
Our flowering crabapples are our queens come Spring..Just Glorious..Oh she must look so cute standing under one of these!

Yes, absolutely amazing! I can't wait until the trees here in northern IL start blooming.

Wow, that is a beautiful magnolia. We won't be seeing these bloom for another month here in Indiana. Did it smell lovely?

Magnolias - there's one a few streets away - old, stately and stunning when in bloom. I thought your little girl was going to be Queen of the neighborhood. :)

We have a magnolia that is about to flower and I just can't wait for the flowers to open. They are stunning! xx

I'm waiting for the pink dogwood across the street to bloom. Nothing yet but that magnolia is beautiful.
Headed to New Mexico in a couple weeks. Going to visit Mimi's Great Grandfather's birth place which is now a ghost town. Do some genealogical digging and maybe some dinosaur digging too. I guess there's a dig going on right now close to Tucumcari and we get to go visit it. I'll see what I can get for Andy...geologically speaking that is. Won't compare to the petrified sheep sh**t he's already given me but I might come close, ya never know. LOL

All these shades of pink are just stunning!

Gorgeous!!!

A wonderful spring tonic for those of us neck deep in snow and ice, with more coming this week.

You sure have a lot of beauty surrounding you inside and outside of your home.
