1300. warming up

 

limbs reaching out wide
touch by two beams of sunlight
warming up for leaves 🦊❤️

The Cucumber Magnolia seems to “leaf up” later than most of the trees.  I like that because, in my opinion, the Cucumber Magnolia tree is most beautiful when its trunk, limbs and branches are fully visible.  Its trunk has character like no other tree. Its limbs and branches explode outward like a sparkler on the Fourth of July.  I never tire of just looking at this, my favorite tree.  🦊❤️
