Dale offers the prompt “community” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
There is a park across the street from us which serves many housing communities in the area. Some of the trees there are beautiful even when they are not blooming.
The area used to be part of Heritage USA a Christian theme park which fell apart some decades ago. Although we knew nothing about that park when we moved here many of the people we now know were associated with it in some way.
The blossoms on a particular kind of tree in the park symbolize the area for me. I think the tree is a kind of magnolia, but I don’t know. I just walk through the park.




Pretty. I love white flowers! Blessings Frank.

I think you are right, Frank. That appears to be a type of magnolia, but their flowers are smaller than the southern magnolia. I bet they still smell heavenly!
