As I continued to create this collection, I sometimes found myself scouting for rare instances that represented my current environment. Botanicals are a significant element of Southern charm.  In particular, the Magnolia, which happens to be the Georgia State flower, is found in almost every yard throughout our community. 

Blooming throughout the summer, finding a flowering magnolia became somewhat of a scavenger hunt. Even though we had a magnolia tree in our yard, I looked past it as a potential subject.  To my husband’s credit, he unknowingly pruned the tree and cultivated a scene that would provide a good vantage point to capture the bloom.

The magnolia blooms were speaking a language that I simply didn’t understand it. They were very temperamental and provided a short window to capture their essence at the opening before quickly deteriorating. 

Frustrated by the effort required, I dismissed the magnolia bloom as an option for the collection. However, my husband continued to check the tree every day to identify a potential subject.  One Saturday morning that followed a rather restless night, my husband rushed to wake me with the news of a freshly opened magnolia bloom. Unfortunately, this triggered an argument as I did not want to be bothered with the thought of capturing the bloom.

Trusting my husband’s humility and instinct, I got up to see the bloom which needless to say was absolutely magnificent.  The awakening is a timeless moment where nature reveals it’s beauty to those patient enough to receive it at the right time.
