I’m kind of partial to this one. Funny thing, though: I was packing my camera away after taking numerous photos, and was thinking of where I wanted to take photos next, when this Magnolia Tree snuck up on me & bit me in the rear! (I almost bumped my head on this very branch when I stood up)
(don’t forget to zoom)
😮 It’s so lovely, Robert! I really, really like this one…and I rated it. :)You’re so lucky to be blooming down there already! Things are still pretty dead and dreary up here. I cannot wait for Spring!!! :yes:
Actually, I just heard that Magnolias tend to bloom in February normally (in California, at least).
You’re in Portland, right? The weather there is similar to the weather in San Francisco & the south penninsula coast. Also, I remember several Magnolia trees growing around Humboldt Bay, which is definitely Pacific Northwest weather.(sounds like a trip to the nursery is in the cards for you)
I’m actually in Vancouver, WA now. We moved over the river & through the woods a few months ago. It’s cheaper to live on this side of it…err…less expensive. :left:Anyway, yes! I will be gallivanting my way to the nursery ASAP! :yes:
Huh…that’s pretty awesome. I need to get some Magnolias, I guess. 😀
I have lots of coffee!!! :coffee: My kid is a Motorhead fanatic! :headbang: Your family misses you! :heart::lol:
Actually, it’s pretty cool over here. A little bit of everything. :idea:I know! How’s about you come up here to visit your relatives and little ol’ me?! 😀 Then you can see for your bad self!
Cheaper in Vancouver, you mean…right? We pay half here what we paid on the other side…for more of a house.
I have family that lives in that area. Vancouver’s right across the bridge. (and housing is a lot cheaper)
Hmmm…
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been up there, but it was that way back then. My cousins and my aunt & uncle moved over there from Portland.So is it still the vast suburban wasteland that I recall from my lasy visit, or are there some cultural amenities on that side of The River?
:up: Great photo Robert. 🙂
Thanks, Carol!
You are welcome Robert.
I love these trees! Beautiful! 😀
Thanks IsabelGood to hear from you!(btw… at some point, I’m going to update my profile in GoodReads. I used to be such a good reader. I’m almost embarrassed to let this slide)
this is beautiful!
thanks! I almost missed this one. It practically had to slap me upside the head from behind for me to notice…:lol:
sometimes that’s what it takes 😆
Nice picture!
Thank you! And thanks for dropping in…:)
