I happened to be visiting Washington D.C. at the same time as the National Cherry Blossom Festival last weekend. Although I couldn't make it to the Tidal Basin to dance under the pink Yoshino cherry trees, I did swoon over several other beautiful blossoms. The tulip-shaped petals on the pretty pink magnolia tree above were my favorite. And if you follow me on Instagram, you already know how tickled pink I was to spy a giant Care Bear balloon lining up for the parade.
I love magnolia! But these purple, pink ones are my favorites. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteMagnolia Trees are so pretty! I miss the big ones in Savannah, GA. In Nebraska they are dwarf sized.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing photo! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely color
ReplyDeleteOh that's beautiful! Managed to catch the Sakuras blooming while I was back in Japan. Really happy!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are so beautiful. Your photos are so terrific. You should enter them on a site to earn money.
ReplyDeleteThe sunlight on the magnolia is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought magnolias were that pretty, but your photo made me change my mind. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe magnolias are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI grew up outside of Washington, so I did get to see the cherry blossoms a few times.
So beautiful. Would love to see this tree.
ReplyDeleteSpring blossoms are the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely angle! Love the sun bathing the blossoms with light!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, they look like silk!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and thanks for stopping by to share on OMHGWW this week
Have a great week!

What gorgeous photography. My #WordlessWednesday is on the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in DC. It looks like you saw beautiful splendor regardless. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. For many years I never realized that those pink blossomed trees were magnoilas, where I lived in So. Calif people simply called them Tulip trees. But as the famous bard, Shakespeare, wrote " "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
ReplyDeleteBy any other name would smell as sweet."
Your shot is absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, i like the color !
ReplyDeleteThe magnolia is great set in scene .
