Wild Azalea Buds

Wild Azalea buds 4/27-13
I made the discovery last week that wild azalea blossoms are even more beautiful before they open. The buds are suffused with so many colors, especially if the mid-afternoon light is just so. And they're furrier than you'd suppose. This is, of course, down by Greenbelt Lake.

Those are beautiful. I didn't know they looked like that either before they blossomed.
