Mr. & Mrs. Magnolia. Leitz Summicron 50mm DR

For a few days in early Spring the Japanese Magnolias are a riot of subtle pink blossoms.  Too soon though, the petals are dropped to wilt and brown on the ground, and are replaced by leaf buds.  I went to photograph a big tree today when I noticed this adorable little couple and their friends attached to the branches in amongst the blossoms.
