Stopping to Smell the Azaleas

The azaleas are blooming! A transplant from the great state of Michigan, I've lived in the Southeast enough to almost take them for granted. But every April, when the blooms come alive, I'm reminded of their beauty.

We have a very modest azalea bush in our new backyard. Some yards have many of them, and the colors are rich and wonderful. A few of my customer pictures that I'll share in the near future may have azaleas in the background.

Charlotte is one beautiful city in the spring and summer. I'll have to photograph some of the flowers for my northern family and friends. In March the dogwoods bloom, in April come the azaleas, June the hydrangeas (my favorite), and July the crepe myrtles. Of course, there are lots of other beautiful flowers and trees. Spring is a wonderful time of year to take pictures of blooms, wherever you live.

Just wanted to share a point of admiration for this city. :-)
