After the Storm




when we went walking after the big rainstorm yesterday, I found armloads of these
magnolia tree seedheads scattered all over the neighborhood...   

look at that gorgeous coral color! I love to find Christmas inpsiration in nature
and these little beauties might find their way onto a mantel or tablescape

have a great day!  Kit

  3. What a great idea, Kit! We have a Magnolia in our front yard and I love to view them on the tree. They will make a wonderful centerpiece - if Neo the crazy cat will leave them alone! 8) Thanks for these beautiful photos!

  4. I'm off tomorrow to take a walk and find some of those pods--I have used them in the past but your photos bring them to mind again--they look lovely. Many thanks as always, Kit!!
