"New Life"

Sunshine here, first thing but this magnolia tree is struggling to bloom and its flowers are wrinkled and each flower seems to have a discoloured petal on them.

Struggled to find a good composition quickly but quite liked this fresh green leaf sprouting out and soaking up the life-giving sun. Music link may not be quite what you expect from such an image but is wholly relevant and is squarely from my musical 'era'.

Thanks for comments so far on the St George's Day blip of yesterday - today will require a good chunk of editing to get that underway and so commenting later.

Lens is Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 macro

Don't forget to look in Large 'L' key

Today's entry should also see my 50,000 blip view chalked up, in the 9 months I've been blippin' - as always thanks to all who have looked in and contributed to that figure.
