Springtime in the City

Spring is here! So are some allergies on my part, but hopefully those will past soon. I had time to kill on a gorgeous afternoon last week, so I stepped outside my office and was able to capture quite a few amazing shots of the local greenery. I was pretty impressed with my camera's abilities, if I may say so ...

Magnolia

Upon discovering that this was a magnolia bloom (I didn't know until after), I couldn't help peering closely at the above photo to see if I could spy any frogs in the centre ... :) Bonus points if you get this reference.

I have no idea what the white and purple flowers are .. but the macro setting captured them quite well.
