@Linerberry: Thanks! It's so colorful that I should have plenty of photos to share, for a while. The azaleas are gorgeous (but they make my eyes burn).

A very good closeup and a much better caption than "Pretty in Pink." -- but that would be OK too.

@Earnest: Well, both are a little cliche, but I took myself off Ambien this week and one can lose a wee bit of creativity when one is staggering from exhaustion. Thanks, Earnest!

@grouser: Believe me I don't! Azaleas and I do not get along. But, they're fun to photograph between sneezes.
@peter: Thank you, Peter!

@Suzanne: Thank you! I think the pink azaleas are my favorites, but they all make me sneeze with equal force.
@Lorraine: Formidable, eh? It's the pollen that made you think that, right, Rainy? Some of the azaleas are starting to shed their blooms, now, so I guess the white ones look a little like Mississippi snow. It's as close as we'll get . . .
