Magnolia

I love the smell of the Southern Magnolia. I wish all my neighbors had one in their yard. Had them located far enough from my property line to avoid the leaves falling into my yard. But, the smell! You just can not capture it other than from the fresh blooms. So, I took the dogs for an early morning walk, found a low hanging bloom, and took it. It made the house smell wonderful all day. Then, as the sun was setting, I noticed it had turned a wonderful copper color. Or, maybe it was the Sangria.
