Lonely little magnolia

My tree has been bursting into flower over the past five days or so, but
with the warm temperatures we are having, the flowers will not last long.
I wanted to do a macro shot, with a blue sky behind but clouds were coming over fast, so I had to dash
out to take this one with the lens that was on the camera, though it IS a wonderful lens.....to make sure I captured the blue sky.
No Sayer to pose with me in front of it like yesterday :( he flew home last night. He'll be back though!

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/250s f/8.0 at 105.0mm iso200 full exif

Very nice. You controlled the light well with the whites.
