shirley - behind the lens: Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers

>> Saturday, April 9, 2011 – flowers, macro, photography

Spring has finally sprung in Central Illinois!

The magnolias never last very long, so I was happy to come upon a tree this afternoon while waiting for my daughter's soccer game to start.

So glad I had that macro lens with me.
