Pretty Blooms

[All Photos - The Grower's Daughter]

Today is an absolutely gorgeous day.

 It's a throw open your windows, hang your linens on the line kind of day. It's a day for gardening, a day for drifting to sleep in a hammock, and a day for basking in glorious sunshine.

After what has seemed like ages of rain, we've been blessed with a perfect spring day. I couldn't have been happier to be barefoot in my mother-in-law's garden, snapping photos of her gorgeous Magnolia blossoms - one of my most favourites.

Aren't the lovely?


Her small tree out front.


At three o'clock in the afternoon, they were still dripping with dew.






I just think they are the prettiest flowers. All blossoms are gorgeous, but these are just so luscious and full.
