I am the one







Here are the best things about taking pictures of magnolias:





1. One can do it in the wind.





2. One can do it in the sun.





3. One can do it when it's cloudy.





4. One better do it while one can because one only seems to have a week or so before they all disappear.





5. They are very pretty so one doesn't have to be a very good photographer.





6. They are very pretty so one doesn't have to have a very good camera.






7. They are in a tree so one can do it standing up from all sorts of interesting angles.






8. They are big and complicated so one can do it as close up as their camera will let them get!








But the very best thing about taking pictures of magnolias doesn't show up in the pictures at all:



 When one stands around in the middle of trees full of magnolia blossoms, everything smells like magnolias.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
