Final Dying Show

The first days of spring are here. Three of my ewes have delivered their lambs - 2 sets of twins and a single - and the other ewes are looking bigger and more uncomfortable every day. I haven't been able to go and have a close look, or take photos yet, hopefully soon!

Anyway the magnolia flower is in it's final dying stages.

But don't the pistil and stamens still look magnificent?

Ragged Beauty

Even though the magnolia flower is getting battered and bruised by the wind it still manages to retain dignity.

Look at what is starting to show from inside!

Here is another magnolia that I can look down onto. It reminds me of a ballgown in reverse - beautiful petal shapes and velvet colours!
