Azalea time in Wilmington NC

It's Azalea Festival here in Wilmington this weekend and although I now avoid the crush of people downtown enjoying it, I still love seeing all the azaleas in bloom in people's yards and in mine!

I have several varieties in my yard. The heat can soon give the white azalea brown spots, so I took this shot early in the day and near the base of the bush out of the sun.
