Description

After finding quite a few magnolias in bloom during our visit to Columbus, Ohio, this past weekend, I'd hoped to find something similar on the trees in Mill Creek Park near us a day or two later. They're full of buds, but I found only a single one that had ventured forth. It's TGIF - hope it's a good one for all of you!
