For the briefest of times, in the late spring, I get the feeling that we are living in a more tropical climate. I always like to imagine that my blooming rhododendrons are lovely exotic flowers with a beautiful fragrance. The fact that they never drop their leaves in the fall and react somewhat dramatically to frigid weather gives me the illusion that they would thrive in a warmer place. I'm sure there are "rhodies" everywhere in the world from mountains to the tropics. Here they come in an enormous variety of colors.
Portland may be known for it's roses but in my opinion the rhododendrons are right up there in beauty.

Yay rhodies! I like them as well. Logan's Grandmum has a variegated one with white and green leaves and flowers that are really light in the middle and fade out to a more reddish color. Her rhodie is much smaller than yours though. I think yours is the only "rhodie tree" I've seen.
This place looks different.
And when are Joylynn and Courtney going to make more posts? Courtney's blog's been unchanged in four months.
I like the new look, what prompted the change? and where did you find the lighthouse theme?
I guess I'm just looking for guidance these days and a light house seemed the obvious choice.
It was one of the canned templates
Oooh. Niiice. I did change my blog too. I didn't know you did. I wonder who did first?
