The Colors of April

in flowers •  6 years ago 
I mentioned in a previous post that my parents' yard has quite a number of azalea bushes, with flowers of various colors — red, white, pale pink, princess pink, and fuchsia. There is another variety, not represented in my parents' yard, which is orange in color and usually called the "Flame Azalea" by locals, and is commonly seen in wooded areas nearby. Each year when these bushes are in bloom, it is a breathtaking sight. Azaleas are so prevalent in this area, the nearest town has an "Azalea Festival" each year.

So, without further ado, I present to you a sampling of photos which I made earlier today of the fabulous colors of these beautiful flowers!

And finally, a self-portrait of myself in front of one of one the azalea bushes! If you've ever wondered what I look like, now you know... 😁

I love all those vibrant pink colours they are my favourite :D

Beautifully vibrant images. Can't wait until 3D is more mainstream...

Namaste, JaiChai

Beautiful, especially after the rain!

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)

These are heavenly. So beautiful.

Great pictures. Nice colours and details. 👍

These Flowers are so very pretty and just what I needed to see this morning.

I love azaleas, especially the bright pink ones. Am hoping that my bush, and which I have nurtured through the drought will flower this year - August / September for us! Beautiful photos!

So pretty!

Gorgeous!!!

What a beautiful variety of pink Azaleas! Flower season is the best! :)

I was just outside with our dog, (wearing my winter coat zipped up because it's currently 30F/-1C) and our landlady hollered across the yard, "do you think we'll ever get spring?" I replied, "I think spring forgot us this year." Seeing this explosion of pink really cheered me up - at least spring is happening somewhere! 😊

Very beautiful flower photographies!

These pictures are incredible. The flowers are so lovely!
