| Magnolia at night- yes thats a star! |
It may
seem a slightly odd thing to do, and I fear it is, to go outside at night and
take pictures of your neighbour's Magnolia. Every year I pop outside for
some unconnected reason, look up and am struck by how majestic, and for want of
a less pretentious adjective, beautiful it is, looming quietly, a pale white
cloud just visible against a dark sky. Obviously if your Magnolia is a
lovely dark pink than these are probably best observed in the light, think they
need to be white to have that ethereal quality.
The evening I took these was weirdly balmy even considering how warm its
been recently. My camera has picked up more colour than is visible in
reality but I think they capture the overall effect. I even managed to
get a star. My Magnolias almost over now, but maybe next year if you read
this you will also admire a Magnolia by starlight and see what I mean. No
need to tell people you've done it though, probably an experience best kept to
oneself.
