[Leica] IMG: Slow Opening Blooms

[Jim Nichols]

I moved from birds to blooms this morning.  The blooms of both the 
Magnolia and the Rhododendron open over a period of days, not hours.  In 
addition, Magnolia blooms are usually difficult to reach.  On this 
roadside tree, the only accessible blooms are above an embankment, where 
footing can be treacherous for an old codger like me.  I'll try to visit 
it again, but wanted to capture it for the colors and lighting.

The Rhododendron blooms are gradually filling out.
