White Picket Fence and Porch Swing


Sesame Lodge
Joe and I were driving yesterday and I saw that gorgeous saucer magnolia tree blooming and I screamed "turn around." 
Joe made a quick u-turn and I got out of the truck and started snapping pictures in the middle of the street.


It is lovely.
I wanted to go inside the gate but I behaved myself.


White picket fence and a porch swing...oh my goodness.


Enough blabbering here's more:


 


Thanks for visiting Sesame Lodge .

I also photographed their neighbor's huge camellia bush that is full of blooms but
maybe tomorrow with some flea market snaps.

I really enjoyed your comments about my photograph in the previous post.

    Lovely, lovely, lovely!


    I had one of those swings in my old house up in the country; spent many an hour reading blissfuly on sunny afternoons.

    The color of the Inn reminds me of the color of our lakehouse! Now we need a swing and one of those gorgeous trees!

    The blooms of the magnolia tree blend so well with the colour of the house.

    OMGosh, the saucer magnolia is gorgeous. When I saw your post, I ran outside to check mine. It hasn't bloomed yet, which surprises me..and sure enough..it looks dead..nary a bud on it.
    Thanks for sharing the cute house (Sesame Lodge?) and is that Japanese holly in the last photo? Wow!

    Love this house and its plantation shutters, that tree is a treat for my eyes. Waiting for the one across the street to bloom. I hope my neighbor does not mind me standing in the yard to take a photo.
