Beginning, middle and end

So I saw this beautiful magnolia on the way home from work, and thought I'd take a shot of the flowers for Blip.

So what do I do? Take innumerable shots of the flowers none of which I like and end up with one of when the flower petals are gone!

I liked the bud, the pink background and the remains of the flowers.

Maybe another day it will be the flowers?

Bit on the fuzzy side too as there was a breeze.
