Joining in with Carole and friends today to share a three-line poem.
creamy blooms spread wide
atop glossy green, spreading
the scent of summer
Thanks to our 90+ degree stretch last weekend, the magnolias are starting to open. This tree is in the common area where Holly takes her evening walks. It smells wonderful!
Hope your week is going well … here’s to almost-Friday!

I wish we had smell-o-vision!! It looks beautiful. 🙂
One of my very favorites. Thanks Mary!
We don't have magnolias here but we do have lilacs and when I stepped out of Town Hall today the smell was so heady I nearly fell over – in a glorious way!
We also don't have many (maybe not any?) magnolias around here, and I never realized how beautifully creamy the petals are and the complexity of the carpels and stamens. Just lovely!
Wow. Beautiful photo, Mary. And, I can almost smell that incredible aroma!
So beautiful. We have nothing like that around here.
Beautiful photo and lovely Haiku. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
love your haiku!! Glad your magnolias are in bloom they are gorgeous!
For the win!Cheers~
Oh so pretty-love that we have a bunch of these trees around our apartment.
