This large magnolia tree stands between the maintenance buildings and the sexton's house in the southwest corner of the cemetery, at the intersection of Geddes, Forest, and Observatory.  This year the record-breaking warm winter, followed by a week of extreme record-breaking warm weather for March, has created a hothouse effect that brought many trees and shrubs into premature bloom.<br />
<br />
The fact of the early blooming got me out of the house, taking pictures.  Happily I found this wonderful tree with fantastic shapes of limbs and branches that offered a plenitude of captivating views.<br />
