Rhododendron of May

Here is my rhododendron photo for First of the Month. Not that different than the April rhododendron, is it? I noticed a few brown spots in May.

However, a glance back at February looks a bit chillier and droopier:

Pink Magnolia Bud

If you go to North Eighth Avenue in Highland Park today, most of the pink magnolia buds will probably be on the ground. I haven’t taken out my camera since April 17. There are other trees in bloom in Highland Park, but if I can spare a bit of time over the next few days, I am hoping to take out my watercolors and start a new painting. Not sure what will inspire me.

Thursday Challenge theme is SPRING. Next week: BEAUTIFUL (Attactive, Wonderful Colors, Hair, Smile,…)

Blooms in Highland Park

Many trees are in blossom in Highland Park.

As I was photographing the trees last week, a man walking by said, “two weeks, you’ve got just two weeks!”

Elinka has more Highland Park blooms on her post.

Forsythia Spring Symbol

Forsythia is called a harbinger of spring. I’m getting ready for Passover – one the nicknames for the holiday is Festival of Spring.
