Maybe I should have saved this post for Mother’s Day next month but I haven’t posted here in a long time and thought I should just go ahead and maybe moving the insect post off of the front page of my mobile browser would be a plus too… Yesterday our Tulip Magnolia tree was in spectacular bloom – like I literally gasped out loud when I saw it. I couldn’t believe the hundreds if not thousands of beautiful open blooms on this gorgeous 78 degree day. For the first time in a while I was inspired to get out my camera and play. I have a few images I love, but this one was the one that touched my heart the most. Maybe no one else will see it but I have two daughters and when I saw these twin buds it made me think of them. When I look at this image with the flower in the background looking out at the two buds in the foreground it reminds me of how it feels to be a mom watching her two daughters and all that is just about to be… Many times a picture of a flower is just that… a picture of a flower. But when a picture of a flower makes you feels something that has nothing to do with that flower, you know you got a good one. Even if it’s just for you.
