This Week's Free Photo - Azaleas



Yes, I know it's been a while since I've posted a free photo. To make it up to you, I'm posting a bunch of 'em.

Just a few miles north of Washington, DC is the Brighton Dam Azalea Garden. Each spring, they open the garden to the public when the azaleas bloom. The garden is about five acres in size, and there is additional open space in a park on the other side of the road. Here's a sample of what you'll see!

Stop back again! I'll have another photo for you next week (or fairly soon thereafter)!

  1. Oh, so pretty! I love the trees. Isn't it wonderful that Spring is here at last?
    Very nice photos, Mr. Smith.

    1. Yes, it is. I hadn't visited this place since I was a teenager and I had an urge to return. It's a great place for a short walk, and there are plenty of benches to sit on and listen to the birds and the bees.

      I did miss getting any pictures of the blue bells blooming this spring, but I'll put it on the list for next year!
