Seas of colourful Azaleas..
26 Sep '07 6:28 am Jack, if I could ever be there myself, or in a similar blessed place, I think I would feel like in Keukenhof tulip Park in Holland : speechless, and breathless...There , too, you could see seas of Azaleas , like seas of Tulips, ....by the clean sparkling waters, becoming of the same colour as the nearby blooms..I just feel like posting again that Keukenhof mesmerizing photo. But I have to search in my image files first.
I found four of them, of Azaleas and Tulips! Here:
28 Sep '07 9:18 am Jack,

1 Oct '07 11:40 pm Wow, Jack! Those azaleas are simply stunning - so delicate yet bold in their profusion and colour!
And Liza, your tulip photos are just as gorgeous - that Keukenhof park looks like a wonderful, peaceful place to sit and enjoy nature.

2 Oct '07 6:21 pm It is wonderful, isn't it!
And on Sunday afternoon with visitors I went for a walk and we decided to continue up through Cheerio to Cheerio Gardens where I took some very evocative pictures. Here they are.
3 Oct '07 12:59 am Jack, you really have to stop spoiling us with these gorgeous photos - I'm using up so much space on my computer as I'm having to save virtually every one!! Hee hee, only kidding - please don't stop!

3 Oct '07 4:11 pm The color is tremendous, like a very rich, sweet dessert. Yummy. I have to tell you my favorite photo was the second one at the pond, beside the one with the picnic tables. In that picture, near where the people are standing you can just see the most magnificent tree fern tendrils unfurling. Looks like a Cyathia perhaps. I love their folliage and the patterning on their trunks.
Your dogs are clearly well trained in the art of providing scale for your photos. My Sophie does a good job with that as well but I think your team works very well together.
Happy Springing!
Mark
