Rhoendendrums In Bloom

Even though I think they are a bit late in getting going this year, they have started to show their slender. Had hoped more would have been out along the water but not yet.

Could not use a tripod so I know they could be a bit more sharp. Somehow my kids have misplaced my full size tripod and I was stuck with my miniature one for today.

Wow those are ghostly. I really have to try to get to the grove of them in the next town. maybe tomorrow.

Woah, those are some cool shots. #1 is excellent and #5 is just really cool with the waterfall in the background. :thumbup:

Another nice set, I love #3.

# 1 for me, beautiful!

Those are beautiful! I am soooo jealous because they do not grow here. :(. Love shot #2 the best.

Awesome pictures. They are so beautiful. My favs are #1 and #2.

Thanks everyone! I am hoping to catch some mountain laurel if they decide to bloom anytime now. Not sure if the lack of rain is throwing them off.

well captured

I'm going out to try today. I hope I do as good a job. oh and btw, it's rhododendron. Not to be a jerk, I'm just a nerd.
