Pretty in Pink

After two very grey cold days, the sun is shining again.

I rarely take photos of flowers, but after the rain our azalea bush is bursting into flower. I have never seen so many flowers on one bush. Spring is just around the corner.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments on yesterday's It's Still Winter photo.

Much warmer today and we haven't lit our wood burner fire yet. Probably will have to this evening though.

This is very pretty Babs, nice to see you sharing some flower pics, I know they are not your thing. Thanks also for your kind words on my pictures, especially my Ruby pics, been a hard time and my heart just isn't really into photography at the moment.
