If you go to North Eighth Avenue in Highland Park today, most of the pink magnolia buds will probably be on the ground. I haven’t taken out my camera since April 17. There are other trees in bloom in Highland Park, but if I can spare a bit of time over the next few days, I am hoping to take out my watercolors and start a new painting. Not sure what will inspire me.
Thursday Challenge theme is SPRING. Next week: BEAUTIFUL (Attactive, Wonderful Colors, Hair, Smile,…)
Many trees are in blossom in Highland Park.
As I was photographing the trees last week, a man walking by said, “two weeks, you’ve got just two weeks!”
Elinka has more Highland Park blooms on her post.

Now that I have a macro lens, I can finally participate in Macro Monday. What a pleasure to view raindrops on the trumpet of a daffodil up close. See more terrific macro shots:
