"Magnolia Rampant" 2011-04-21 The tulip magnolia trees are in full bloom at the moment. I spotted this one blossom against the blue sky while walking in a park in Vienna's 18th district.

More spring flowers 2011-04-19 Not too sure about the crop here - perhaps a bit tighter? I blurred the background (which was a white wall anyway). In any case, like yesterday's picture, this is from the gardens of the baroque palace Schloss Hof in Austria.
