2025 Flower Explosion
2025 Flower Explosion Has Begun
Once again, we’re in the middle of the 2025 flower explosion at our house. Between the middle of April and early May, the front of our home becomes a florist delight.
It’s become an annual event that I look forward to every year. I don’t think I can improve my feelings for the front of our house at this time of year.
We have a multitude of flowers that bloom at different times during this period, making the view out our front door exquisite. The funny part is we didn’t know about the flower bushes in front when we purchased the house 25 years ago.
When Linda and I initially saw the house on New Year’s Day. We subsequently purchased it in January 1998 and moved in February. Boy, did we get a huge surprise that spring. All these different kinds of flowers bloom. The house provided us with a beautiful wedding gift (May 9). Since that first spring, Mother Nature has welcomed us each spring with an orchestrated display of flowers.
Rite of Spring!
It’s the rite of spring when the bare trees of winter allow you to see the neighbors change quickly. Like magic, the buds start to grow at the end of March. The trees transform our house into a canopy of green during April, a shaded, secluded oasis.
First to arrive are the tall red tips with their purple flowers. They announce the coming of spring. Then it’s the azalea show, starting with white azaleas by the front door and baby pink on the east side of the driveway. They appeared this week. The baby ruby red rose buds are starting to show and will make their appearance to break up the azalea string in the next few days. The grand finale is the enormous azalea bush in front of our house. When it blooms, it displays a monumental amount of pink azalea flowers. I’ll put together another blog entry when the pink azalea flowers bloom.
Because of their beauty, I go out and photograph the flowers each year. Over the years, I’ve probably taken over a thousand pictures of the flowers in my front yard. Here are a few images from my collection of flowers blooming. As this year’s flowers bloom, To see more examples of my photography and digital painting work, go to the Gallery section of my website.

A Big Announcement is Coming Soon
I’m sorry I’ve not communicated much with you all in the last few months. In addition to taking care of Linda, I have been very busy over the previous nine months with a new project. All this work results in a big announcement in the next few days. Watch for it. It’s coming soon.
