Today’s Flower: Magnolia
My neighbor’s magnolia tree is in bloom.
This magnolia flower has a black dot toward the top.
I enlarged the dot, and I discovered it is a fly. Or some kind of bug.
There are few more days left of Passover, so blogging will be light until next week. One of the names for Passover is “Holiday of the Spring.”
