You know that spring is really here to stay, at least in the south, when the azaleas are in bloom.
This was the view this morning from my front porch--two beautiful, if a bit overgrown, azaleas. Our house once belonged to my grandparents, and I can remember my mother and my aunt planting these for my grandmother, probably close to 30 years ago.
They're way taller than me, close to 7 or 8 feet tall.
We haven't been here at the right time to trim them back in the last few years, but I sort of like the "wild" look anyway, and they make a good year round bird habitat.
They don't last long, but aren't they pretty while they're here?

And because they are about 30 years old, also to Vintage Thingie Thursday at Colorado Lady
Until next time...
