Yes, they are beautiful!

If you don't mind me asking, why can't you have these in your current yard?🙂
We could, but we inherited different landscaping in our current yard, and not enough room for new trees. We had Japanese Maples, Japanese Magnolias, Apple trees, and Pear trees at our previous house, and I miss them all greatly.😌

I understand. These trees are very beautiful, so I understand that you misses them.
But can't you dig up one of already planted trees and plant one of these?
Maybe that's to much work and not worth it I guess. I'm no expert on trees and flowers.
Just a thought😊

So wound up the color 4x5 scans yesterday. The last few batches were from Oregon in 1980 or 1981. This shot I believe was taken in downtown Portland.

Vericolor II type S film. Probably the Schneider 121mm, ƒ-8, Super Angulon lens. View attachment 2146785
As a Swede i reconagize the Saab immediately! Its a late 1970s❤️
The color brown is not my favorite though😁
Orange is the color! Now we talking😂

PS. If you look closely you also see a tall building in the background😂

I owned a Saab here in the States back in the 80's. Great car when it was running well but horrendously expensive with repairs and the number of mechanics who worked on them was extremely limited.

Maybe it was little of a nisch product in the States at that time?
And also the quality of Saab in the 80s and even in the 90s wasn't the best.
But afterwards. I have owned 3 of them between 2000 to 2015 and they have been great.
Thanks for responding😊

Yes. Japanese Magnolia. We had two of them in our yard at our previous house. They were absolutely beautiful and I miss them.
I've always heard these called Tulip Magnolias..... They are my favorite flowers in the early Spring, right along with Daffodils. They're just so exquisite and they have a delightful scent. Unfortunately they're rather delicate, too, and some years bad weather has wreaked havoc with the trees.
