While visiting one of our local parks this past week I fell in love with this beautiful pink magnolia tree and the gorgeous blue sky.

Simply stunning!! I just love it! We have Magnolia trees here..so I figured this type would be ok..I was mistaken. It's a bit fussy but could of done well in a cooler area of the Island. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

We agree with you 100%. The magnolias are in full bloom here too.
Gorgeous combination with your blue skies.
MW's face. When my daughter was a teenager she used to tell MW if she had his face she would never need makeup. Last night while watching Grey's Anatomy (yes I'm addicted)I thought of you and Miss Cindi Lou. One of the surgeons mentioned Whoville telling one dr. to be like Miss Cindi Lou and just laugh....Happy Weekend,
Madi and Mom

I have never seen or heard of pink magnolias. we have magnolias all over the south but not PINK. God sure knew what he was doing when he created that blue sky and put the pink in front of it and then your camera caught it for us. goregous
