Magnolia, garden

 Beautiful light this afternoon and I used the Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 35mm. Lovely lens. Thanks Kirk.

Redbuds, today

 The Redbud tree is a nice clean tree that has pretty leaves during the year. It is not spectacular...except in the Spring. Before even a hint of leaves appears the trunk and branches are covered with tiny purple flowers that remain for a week or so. The surest sign that Spring is on its way.

Frosty monsters

We had a deep and long frost last week and, as a result, the Monstera in the garden took quite a hit. Most of the leaves were done for. The main stem will survive fine and send up new leaves in a few weeks, so I cut these off as thy changed color.

The land next door has been sold and the new owners are grading the land and removing some trees in preparation for construction. All the vegetation has gone and we have bright light on that side now.
 

Clyde's elephant ears

 We have had a few frosts lately and a couple of strong ones, 22f last night. They put a hurt on tropical plants. This one looks even worse today. But they come back once the weather warms up.
