Wandering Neighbourhoods: Suburban Magnolias
by Amanda on April 13, 2010
Rather than sharing a well known Vancouver area, this week I have been photographing a more suburban walk. I have been doing a lot of wandering around the streets gazing at the beautiful Springtime colours that have popped up in suburban gardens.
The cherry blossoms arrived early but right now the magnolia trees are blooming all over the place creating dotterings of pink and white. I love their floppy petals which seem to droop like bunny ears.
Finally some warm weather for this chilled to the bone Australian. Aren’t these lovely beginning days of a season just filled with joy and hope for a happy time ahead?

Thank you Jen Lynne. It’s so sunny out…the perfect time to do it.
absolutely beautiful shots
What wonderful walks you’ve been on. These are so delicate and ladylike. I love it!
Thanks girls!
These are gorgeous! Amid all the spring flower photos, yours really stand out.
I’ve been shooting a lot of cherry blossoms and magnolias, too. They are so pretty and, as you pointed out, are scattered all around neighborhoods – no special trip needed.
all things pretty. i have the same magnolias in my backyard. i love the heavy blossoms on twiggy branches! : )
Ah! I love your blog! Your photos are gorgeous and I’m so glad you commented on mine so that I could see them!
Your writing is really fun to read and inspirational too – I particularly like your post on photographer’s block and will be keeping it in mind for the next role of film I go through.
I saw the biggest magnolias of my life a month or two ago in south surrey. They were HUGE! I wanted to take one but figured someone would see me do it. Must have been as big as my head.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Here in Alabama when spring comes we just get lots and lots of green! Lovely colors lol!
finally some warmer weather on the west coast.
glad to see you are capturing the light.
photos are beautiful.

Wow, wow, wow! These are gorgeous, Amanda! You’re such a talented lady (and a sweet friend, too). xo
these are lovely, amanda! i’ve got magnolias on the brain these days – i had planned photographing them last summer when on vacation (we don’t have them in norway) but never got around to it. i hope to catch some this year.
seems like spring has arrived in vancouver! looks like we have to wait a bit here in norway – we had a few lovely days but today provided us with a hailstorm…
Beautiful photos! I just love the magnolia trees, really, I love all the flowering trees. Where I grew up we never had any trees that flowered, NONE! After 6 years in Vancouver, the beautiful flowers that appear every spring still take my breath away.
