Azaleas as spring blooms in the Piedmont


The azaleas and dogwoods have been blooming in the Piedmont area of NC for about 2 weeks.   The image on the left is of my neighors house on a cloudy day. She has a lot of colors of azalea blooms in her front yard. If you look closely, you should be able to see a white dogwood tree just starting to bloom in front ofher house. Some of these azaleas will bloom later.  One of the medium pink blossoms looks more like a rose bud than an azalea when it first opens.  It has double petals.  The image on the right was taken in a residental park, i.e. Fisher Park.  The day I was walking on the paths there were many artists trying to paint the landscape.  It was bright sun and I tried to decrease the exposure when taking with the iPhone 6.  No major editing for either of this images.   I want to try to use my Sony DSLR or Nikon P & S cameras to take some macro images of azaleas/rhodadendron.
