2014, Day 25 - Yearning

We've been lucky enough to have days of sunny weather.  It isn't warm but it has been beautiful and it leaves me longing to see spring flowers.  My favorite, the ones I miss the most, are the splendid delicate star magnolia blossoms.  They don't last long but they are singular in their beauty and perfection when at their peak that they make up for the lack of longevity with their fragile grace.
