858. curiosity about winter buds

in the winter cold
magnolia buds… tiny nests
holding on for spring  🦊❤️

 There are small Magnolia trees in my complex. They are all budded for next year’s leaves to make their debut. I read a little about why the Magnolia buds in winter. (I am really not a very curious person). I learned that inside those furry buds, tiny leaves are already curled and protected from winter weather. Nature is amazing. I think it would be a good New Year’s resolution for me to practice “curiosity” about nature. Maybe I’ll start today. 🦊❤️
