Description
In these parts, rhododendrons bloom in May.
They bloom and bloom and bloom ... they're everywhere! Drive down any street, and you'll see several.
May in these parts is awash in rhododendron blooms.
This one is in my back yard.

What a beauty! Yes, they are everywhere, even in my backyard (and I didn't know that's what it was until it finally bloomed this year after living here three years.) With all that you have in your backyard you should be posting more shots of your bounty! If you don't I'll come over there and do it for you... ;)

Beautiful with the sunlight backlighting these blooms. I've only seen them weighted down with raindrops and backed by cloudy gray skies. Once again I like your artistic crop...by all means don't show us the entire thing:)

Fantastic shot, Tara. Love the speckled bloom

I'm lookin out my window at MY rhodie; it's taller than my house (though that's not necessarily saying too much !! LOL) and flaming pink. For the weeks that it blooms all my shoes are covered on the soles with the sticky petals that drop. A small price to pay for the glorious show is gives me. Your rhodies, though, WOW--they're BIG!!!

There are no rhodies in this neck of the woods. Oh, they're all around Chicago, but most of the greenery around me is just mundane grass, and any blossoms I'm likely to see are...well...dandelions. So this is quite a refreshing image! I love the light and the color and the detail of the petals: those dots, the shapes, everything. It's funny, I see similarities to reflections in this image. Not so much in a literal sense, but in that way that reflections blend and slide through some weird dimensional shift in reality. Close up shots of flower bits to the same thing

Wow, Tara, this is a great capture - the way the light plays across the blossom - a full range of pinks, whites, and the green sets up a wonderful contrast. Even the lightest areas have delicate details. Excellent!
