Magnificent Magnolias.

With some cold weather and blustery winds forecast it's best to take the opportunity to shoot magnolia blooms before they bruise and fall.  Was going to have to stop to photograph one of the many I pass in gardens  around town but a trip to photograph a friend's car for insurance purposes revealed this beauty in the garden where the car is garaged.  Chance to get up close and personal.  The front garden was charming as well - see extra.
