Day 137

Black can be dramatic. Go for as much black in a photo as you can with lots of oomph, character, and depth.







I can not even express how much I love this tree.  It is a Magnolia, I estimate, 200 to 300 years old.  The blooms are the size of dinner plates.  When I decided to finally get out of the car today to take the picture the smell was overwhelming and wonderful.  I envisioned an old kind southern lady living in this house and waltzing out to offer me some sweet tea while she talks about the story of her ancestors planting the tree.  I can dream can't I.  I love the south.  I love that tree.
