The first pink azaleas have bloomed.
They are priceless in their beauty. Just look at these blooms awaiting their time on nature’s stage.
I stand before them in awe and reverence.
Note: I just learned that Elizabeth Taylor has died today, so I’m adding this tribute to my post. I dedicate these flowers to that most beautiful of talented actresses. Although I didn’t know it when I wrote this, the title of this post is quite appropriate.
She once said that she wanted to be remembered for her work in the fight against AIDS.
Elizabeth Taylor is also known for other charitable works. Including Project Angel Food and Dogs Deserve Better.
She will also be known for her indomitable spirit.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London, England on February 17, 1932.
She will be sorely missed.
How beautiful Brenda! I saw that Elizabeth Taylor died. She was a remarkable woman. Congrats on your Cozy Little Shoppes. It is a great idea. When I get more in my Etsy shop I will join you.

Great pics and what a nice tribute! The azalea color is just beautiful-enjoy:@)
So lovely indeed! It’s a wonderful thing when such beautiful blooms surround you.
There are few celebrities of the day who can compare to the wonderful icons of our past.
Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday. Tammy
The gorgeous flowers make a fitting tribute to a lovely woman, outside and inside. I taped many a Photoplay picture of her in my teenage room. The photographer captured her violet eyes for which she was so famous.
The pink azalea are a treat. Elizabeth Taylor, a great actress, a humanitarian.

I was saddened when I heard this earlier this morning. She was a fabulous woman and stood for so many good things. When I was a young woman I was told I looked like her and what a compliment that was.
Great photography on those azaleas. Stunning. Mine are opening up too.
Beautiful photos and I was sorry to hear about Elizabeth Taylor’s passing, too. Is your new camera a SLR?
Your photo is so lovely and so was Elizabeth Taylor….inside and out!
Great tribute. She was a true original and there won’t be another like her.
Elizabeth Taylor was such a beautiful spirit, woman, talent.
Your azaleas are gorgeous Brenda! I loved having them when we lived further South…a joy to see!
Love,
Sue

What a beautiful tribute you have done for Elizabeth Taylor… She was an icon and will be missed. Her deep blue eyes and ivory skin will be remembered always. Enjoyed your azalea tribute to a wonderful person and actress. We will miss you, Elizabeth! xoxo Kim
I didn’t know she had died…I think she was one of the most beautiful women…as beautiful as your azaléa!

Ohh you are lucky to have some signs of spring! Here in Alberta, we are still under lots of snow this year!! Enjoy the beautiful blooms!
Beautiful blooms! Liz married 8 times, I wouldn’t get hubby’s name straight!
Beautiful eyes!
I was sad to hear that she died and have enjoyed seeing tributes to her on the news this evening. Your tribute was lovely too.
What a nice tribute to Elizabeth Taylor! Your azaleas are so pretty. Photos of beautiful flowers are making my day-we had snow today.

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady. Your azaleas are such a pretty color…wonderful photos.
I have that same color. Aren’t they pretty? I could not get a good shot as I was losing the light. Your shots are fabulous. The tones in the flowers are so pretty.
Just heard about Elizabeth Taylor, so sad.
Liz was outstanding in so many ways. A lovely tribute. In the 5th Azalea picture, they look like they have golden tips. Beautiful.

What beautiful photos of your beautiful flowers! I love how a camera can help you see things better than with your own eyes. It means you can keep your blooms forever! They make a fabulous tribute.
The Azaleas are beautiful..to be in awe…so perfectly lovely, yet delicate and sturdy, to rest all winter and put on a show of blossoms. A nice tribute to Elizabeth..who was a beauty in her own right. Have a beautiful day.
So glad it’s spring so I can stalk your blog. You have a beautiful yard! :O)
Beautiful flowers…
Elizabeth was always one of my favorites. I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world when she was younger.
I’ve worked on my PAGES but now I don’t like the color of the strip behind them so am going to work on THAT today. Boy, this blogging is a JOB!!

A very nice tribute to a beautiful lady and a beautiful flower. I have that same azalea, but it isn’t blooming yet. You have captured it beautifully in your photos.
Beautiful photos and sweet tribute to Elizabeth.
I love azaleas. Only wish they lasted longer.
What beautiful blooms! It was just 75 degrees here the other day and now it’s in the 30′s
I look forward to new blooms here!
What an appropriate post to tribute Elizabeth Taylor.
Have a great day!
Both of them were (are) lovely…
I Love azaleas..and Rhododendrons…beautiful….
What beautiful flowers!! Your pictures are incredible. I didn’t know my oldest son shared his birthday with Elizabeth Taylor until I read her birthday on this post. She was so talented and beautiful.
Blessings,
Marcia
