The rain let up about three and we got out to do a little pruning and gardening. The daffodils look good but I got something wrong and even under a cloudy sky the yellows were too much for the Pentax. Hmm. The magnolia is maybe a week and a bit from showing blossoms.

Magnolia bud on wet branch

The yellow artifact in the lower right is real, the vague shapes behind the branch are a house (you can see it, upside-down, in the raindrop) and the porch light was on. I edited it out and recomposed around it but ended up, weirdly, liking the picture better like this.
