Magnolia Tree shows off Somerset Spring at its best

The poor weather recently has reminded us all of those dark and dreary days in January and February.

After a spectacular start to Spring with sun and warmth and even shorts-weather cricket at The County Ground in early April, we are back to perhaps more familiar seasonal showers and that distant yellow planet seems to have somewhat disappeared.

So, to brighten your Easter weekend, here is a shot or two of a magnificent Magnolia Tree against a clear blue sky, showing off a Somerset Spring in all its glory. It's a fleeting time that such gloriousness is present but it does perhaps symbolise how we need to embrace life in all its fragility and beauty.
