Baby Magnolia ...

“All art is but imitation of nature.”

                      ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

                                       ~ 4 B.C.- 66 A.D.

Like awakening from a dream, the first breaking bud on my favorite magnolia tree at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania springs to life on an April evening.

Frosted Magnolia ...

"In the depth of winter I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
                              ~ Albert Camus
A bud on my favorite magnolia tree at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania is frosted with a hint of winter magic during a light January snowfall. 

Dreamer Of Dreams ...

"We are the music makers,
and we are the
dreamers of dreams ..."
             ~ Arthur O'Shaughnessy
                         (1844-1881)

A dream like view of a beautiful magnolia bud
on an April day at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania.
