Magnolia's blooming on 4-30-2014

I went walking on 4-30-2014.  The couple of days previous the weather had been bad and I wasn't able to get out walking.  I was really surprised to see some magnolia's already in full bloom.  Usually you notice the white buds first.
   I do like to keep track of when I see things first blooming and the magnolia's are one of them.

Aren't they lovely?
