Wallace M Ruff, Jr. Magnolia Arboretum and Neighborhood Park

Last Friday after work we went to see the magnolia trees at this park.  There are hundreds of them, along Cedar Creek, in various stages of spring budding and blooming.  Not only were these trees stunning and fragrant, but the timing was perfect because it was the magic hour...

Magnolias are the first flowers, emerging about 100 million years ago, before birds and bees, and are pollinated by beetles.  What interesting and unique natural wonders are in your community?
