Magnolia Blossom Up Close (Posterized)


Magnolia Blossom Up Close (Posterized) Originally uploaded by randubnick

It is the third week in April, and about time for the magnolia tree to bloom. I have seen a few magnolia trees blooming around town, but the one in my yard is budding, not yet blooming. This tree is in a shady location, on the north side of the house, but I think it will bloom tomorrow if it is warm enough. This image began as a photo that I took of the same magnolia tree a few years ago, and I decided to posterize it tonight. Flowers help us mark the seasons, and in Boston, along with baseball and the Boston Marathon, April means magnolia trees.
