Spring Blooms in Our Neighborhood

Spring is a great time to walk in my neighborhood. Azaleas are still blooming as different cultivars bloom later. This CU of the pink azalea has double petals. These blossoms look a lot like a rosebud before it is fully opened. I do admit to staging the composition.  The image on the right is a lily of the valley. I will admit to this being a grab shot.  It was in the neighbor's yard with the afternoon sun highlighting the blooms about 6 pm.  Mine do not have buds yet.  These usually bloom in May but everything seems to be blooming about 2 weeks early this spring. The blossoms can be difficult to photograph if the wind is blowing.   Hope to get a better close up to post later.
