Fleeting Beauty




I took this photo not too long ago and the magnolia buds on the neighbourhood trees have since flowered and the blossoms have already started falling on the ground.  It is a fleeting beauty.

It really is. But a beauty that we look forward to each spring.

my father-in-law has bushes that grow flowers but they only last maybe a month

It is fleeting. Magnolias are gorgeous, but their fleeting bloom time reminds me of lilacs!

Not only the magnolia but the picture against the blue sky is beautiful. It turns out that in Britain a blue sky is fleeting too.

that's too bad Anna, something not to be taken for granted then.

That is a really beautiful photo and I love how you've cropped/positioned it. Well done, Christine!
