Magnolia Bloom ....Short Life

The Magnolia's are in full bloom ... but they drop their petals quickly and as an artist and teacher I photograph their beauty and clip a few branches for studio work.

Their beauty is all too fleeting.

  1. I know you don't have blog awards on your blog, but I am still paying a blog award I received forward to you.

    I don't kow if you do blog awards or not, but I had to pay forward to you one that I received.

    The award is called the Liebster Blog Award . . . meaning favorite blog award. I am supposed to give it to a 5 bloggers I appreciate and value.

    You are the artist I always wished I could be. You watercolors move me to places I like to go . . . and I have valued you as a friend more years than I can count.

    If you would like to receive the award, you need to stop by my blog . . and if not, stop by anyway and see what I wrote about you . . he he he he he
