Bloomin' magnolias

The sight of magnolias in bloom - indicating a change of season is what I just love. It is usually at the end of winter letting you know that spring is on the way. Spring isn't necessarily around the corner here, it has been quite chilly lately with a lot of rain! Man it would be so good to send some rain over to Australia, from what I hear the water restrictions are at Stage 5 - which isn't good at all. The rain here comes one minute and then it goes leaving a cloudy blue sky and the next minute an ominous grey cloud brings the rain, which is quite fun when you are in it! Ashwin and I got drenched today doing our missions downtown, it was lovely. These pics are of some beautiful magnolias in bloom at a moment caught just after a downpour when the sun was shining.
