Japanese Magnolia, Bernheim Arboretum



As I made my way back to Nashville from Louisville, after a brief visit with family for the Easter holiday, I stopped for a visit at Bernheim Arboretum. I love to capture images of the Japanese Magnolias in bloom in early Spring. It was sad as frost had pretty much obliterated a great deal of the blooms. I walked around the trees snapping an image here, an image there. This particular bloom, as you can see, had a bit of frost bite too. I love to photograph flowers with a beautiful blue sky in the background. Sometimes I even position myself so that the perspective includes that gorgeous blue sky. It seems to give your image a boost. Have you been enjoying the beautiful Bradford Pears that have been in bloom for the last few weeks? Here in Hendersonville they were gorgeous. The Dogwoods should be in bloom soon it not already. I hope you are having a wonderful week. We have strong storms coming through late today. ENJOY!

Japanese Magnolia Bud, Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest


I couldn't resist taking a photo of the Japanese Magnolia tree as it is flowering right now. This particular Japanese Magnolia sits right next to the main gate just before you enter Bernheim. Every year it blooms in early Spring with such beautiful pink and maroon flowers. It's simply gorgeous. I hope you have a Japanese Magnolia somewhere in your neighborhood. They just brighten everything around them. And they can get quite large too. I added a vignette to this image to enhance it. ENJOY!

Buds, Bird Nests & Blue, Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest

Into every day a little blue should come. And bird nests . . .

. . . and buds.

I hope these images find you safe and sound and having a wonderful Sunday. We're heading for 66 degrees as the high today. Yippee. ENJOY!
