Mountain Laurel

    Okay okay, so before Spring is too far of a distant memory, I wanted to share one of my flower pictures from earlier this year (I have a feeling POTW is about to be overrun with Europe pictures! đŸ™‚ ).

    I have always really enjoyed the mountain laurel blooms; I think because they are so unique looking.  For some reason though, it seems I always miss their peak time (and frankly I almost missed them again this year)!  This year I happened to notice them blooming and made time to run up to the Foothills Parkway to get some pictures.  Holly of course accompanied me and as I was working through setting up different compositions, she came over and suggested this one.  As is often the case in this scenario… I end up liking her idea better than anything I came up with.  That’s just kind of how it goes.
