It's Magnolia Day in Oakville

Unofficially of course.  But completely believable if you've had the good fortune to walk the streets or drive around.  It is completely and stupendously beautiful, over-the-top perfumily magnificent.  Big or small they're all vying for our attention.  So very few words, and lots of photos from today and a few days ago from around the 'hood:


I would move into the house, just for the trees.




The same tree - underside:


Topside:


Doesn't matter if the house is new:


Or old....


One of the few yellows:


This lovely fencing will be up and down the whole street by this evening - charming.....new waste water mains:


New house - old tree:


Old house - and lovely old tree - love the petals scattered about:



A tiny one tucked in the corner:


One more of that lovely old one:


Let's hope this one makes it through the construction:


Very new - and best scented of the lot - what a colour to boot!


House hiding behind:



 Magnolia reaching out to say hello:


Grey house - pink tree:


Sweet little house and lovely luscious tree:


Rhodo saying - look at ME:


And a little break from all the pink - the Lake this a.m.


I don't know, this might be my fav:


This one is pretty good too:


Violets and petals - very girlie:


These two remind me of showgirls with fans:


Great white just down the street:


Hope you'll come back soon - if you enjoyed this I'm thinking you're going to love Forsythia Day!
