Magnolia Trees

I am loving the springtime here in the PNW. I have "rediscovered" my love for magnolia trees. I had a conversation with kelkel where I asked her if they grow a lot in MO where I grew up. She said they do and I got to thinking about springtime in STL and Colorado and all of the places I have visited during this wonderful time of the year. I really missed all of the trees of my youth in MO, while living in CO. Now I have a chance to enjoy all of the lush growth here. I'm taking it all in and enjoying the beauty all around.
