Springtime here in London has come and though we still have grey rainy days (do we ever not?) we also have some beautiful spring blossoms and sunshine. This lovely tree raining white blossoms everywhere is of the genus Magnolia. There is a huge amount of information about this species on wikipedia, most of which consist of more botanical naming and people involved in discovering various other such plants. I decided to forgo the pleasure of trying to reproduce any of that here :-)
As for the photo itself, it was taken just about at the "worst" time of day, right in the middle of the day with full sunlight. But I think it is justified in this case because all the building surrounding this little park cast shade on the tree most of the day and this photo just wouldn't have that spring feel to it if it was all shaded or alternatively if it was overcast.
That brings me back up to date, well mostly anyway though I will be posting my next one this weekend which is only another couple of days away.
