May is a wonderful month for rhododendron blooms. Different varieties are blooming most of the year, but it seems like May is peak for a great number. The image below is a closer view of the bloom on the right above.

Garden Flowers
Some of the flowers in my garden in early July. Especially nice to be able to enjoy the hydrangea … these are high enough that maybe they will be ignored by the deer. (fingers crossed)
Above the Chinese Garden
There aren’t any gardens here now, but historically this was the site where the local Chinese population had their gardens back in the late 19th century. The clouds are what caught my eye.
Row of Shovels, Updated
These shovels are in a friend’s garden. I think they are a very fine collection. I’ve posted a photo of them before, and this is just an update.
The Last Apple
This apple is still hanging on into January. We’ve got a pretty good windstorm coming in and I hope it survives on the tree. I like its determination.
