The season's first hydrangeas at dusk.
The heat is beginning to rise and the delicate magnolia petals are beginning to burn.  That is the cycle of life.
I had a birthday this weekend.  My hubby and son got me a bouquet of peonies.  That was a luxurious first.  I hope you don't mind my sharing, but they don't last long.

... but the clouds came again by quitting time.  I found this beautiful hibiscus in a pot by what looked to be an abandoned gas station.  Love the colors.
Fading azaleas.

The dogwoods are beginning to bloom.

And, of special note, the texture is my own.  Ain't that the berries!
The azaleas are in full bloom and beautiful.
