transplanted

Vanier Park

it's not just cherry trees providing colour at the moment...magnolia trees are also bursting with vitality

this is one of two Saucer Magnolias at the Planetarium...originally planted downtown in 1912, to be saved from development construction they were transplanted here in 1968

Nikon D90
Nikkor 16-85mm - 1/1000s f/11.0 at 22.0mm iso200 full exif

I love all the graceful curving lines here, in the tree as well as man-made. That blue sky is the perfect backdrop.

A very compelling mix of this gorgeous tree and the many man made lines and shapes.
This is fascinating!

What a gorgeous tree - can't get over how old it is - a bit late to start magnolia trees :( V

Lovely, I always thought of magnolia as a southern tree.

Well executed composition with these three distinct and very different subjects.

A splendid frame for the 3 subjects. To see all the trees in bloom really lifts the spirit. V

Gotta love a magnolia in blossom - so short-lived but so gorgeous too. Fab shot David, and thanks for the history of these magnificent trees
