More Signs of Spring

Cambridge, Massachusetts
 
Magnolias are in bloom...
An ancient plant, emerging before bees, about 95 million years ago.
Their flowers, some say, have evolved to attract beetles... and, I say, humans as well...
They cannot be missed on spring days... adorning the streets of Cambridge... for just a few weeks...
   ... and then, they are gone... until the next spring...
