WAOUhhhh excellent +++

Good macro Keith, well done.
Have a great evening, and new week...

Well you never know with our changeable weather Keith! I pass a beautiful tree this colour on my way to Yeovil when I pick my granddaughter up from school but have not been able to stop and take a picture. It is very striking and beautiful.

Die Magnolie hätte ich fast nicht erkannt. Sie hat noch ihre Mütze auf ;-) Wunderbar in der Großansicht!

Keith, this is awesome. What great timing to catch this before the casing dropped off. It is such a fun challenge to find flowers that are about to erupt into bloom like this. A perfect shot with all the wonderful hairy details to enjoy. My first thought was that it looked like a birdy beak on an impossibly magenta bird! :D Viewing large is such a treat. The fine details are awesome. I also shared this with my husband and he was suitably impressed as well! Nice job, perfect angle, you get a gold star for the day! :D

Thank you for your super comments about my SSC challenge...lol it was made for me it seems, and I had to laugh when I read what the theme was! :D Glad you loved all the pictures--and I loved that you used "splendiferous"! I'll have to use that one more, isn't it a super word? :D

Have a lovely rest of your day!

merveilleuse prise !! un bouton à la fois insolite et élégant

Thanks for all your comments and stars..................much appreciated. You're al very kind :-)

Lovely, furry hat!!

It's gone now :-( The flower is coming out nicely though. Thanks Eunice!

Heel Goed Keith Mooi

Glad you like it Fred............thanks for dropping by!

What a great shot! The magnolia bud looks like a pink bird with a long brown beak.
