Azalea Garden with Dad

I've started going to my Dad's photography club with him every once in a while. I enjoy it mostly because I learn so much from the guys that lead it, but also because I get to spend quality time with my dad. We both have an interest in photography and I love that this give us such a great opportunity.

These photos were taken at the Azalea Gardens in Raleigh - Behind the WRAL building. I've lived in the Raleigh area for 24 years, and didn't know they were there. We went at the perfect time, when all of the Azaleas were in bloom and beautiful!

I can't remember what type of rose this was, but I had to hold it up because it faces down. I love the vibrancy the leaves bring and the contrast they cause with the almost dull flower itself.


I believe this bloom that reminds me of a hydrangea, is called a snowball - how appropriate. Beautiful! If you can't tell, these are in the background of the photo below.

This fountain is beautiful and I was able to practice the motion of water.
