Signs of Spring

Spring Rhododendrons

Because the rainy season in the Puget Sound area lasts until the beginning of Summer, there are May showers to go along with the April ones. Still nature does not wait for sunshine, so flowers are blooming around the area. Rhododendrons are common around here and this sort of bright purple variety especially so. I never really noticed how common they were before I received my first camera, but now I tend to find them somewhat photogenic, perhaps because of the unruly nature of their petals.
