Azaleas in the Abstract

If only these were abstract.  Today is March 2.  These azaleas in my backyard are the most beautiful and I love them coming into bloom every year at the END of March.  So early- so scary.  I am sending these blooming photos with email to our new cabinet secretaries in charge of the environment; Senators, Congressman etc. and reminding them that yes this is an unusual year, but the trend is not good.  Ga is very proud of the Masters  Golf Tournament with the beautiful grounds held at the beginning of April.  We are a little farther north.  SAD
