Photohunters: Backwards
I always go backwards up my driveway for safety sake.
These are old spring shots so you can see why I let my azaleas get so huge, besides being too lazy to prune, I find them quite beautiful in the spring. However, they do make it hard to avoid the neighborhood children so I am always edging out slowly and going backwards up my driveway makes it safer when I leave my driveway going forwards.
To show you something which gives an idea of the scale, below is a shot I took of my daughter in the spring of 2007 standing with her back to the azaleas.

Those azaleas are awesome! I find it hard to drive backwards; I also thought this theme was hard - you did great with it!
Wow those are marvellous azaleas Carver. I don't go backwards up my driveway... no driveway!
Our azaleas had grown almost that high at times, especially the ones on the side of the back yard. My husband did a heavy pruning on ours after they bloomed this spring. I can understand why you'd have to back up your driveway. Beautiful !!
They are worth every inch when they bloom in Spring. Good take on the theme. It wasn't easy was it?
Happy weekend to you.
Hi Everyone, With Carvers permission I would like to post the following.
I wanted to reach out to you to see if you were interested in a new online social support network (that I am the community manager of!) called I Had Cancer. It is a new and free social support network focused on connecting people based on experiences with cancer so that they can easily communicate with one another and share information. I would love to tell you more if you are interested, so please let me know! I would love to send you an early-access pass with extra invites for others you may know going through this journey, just contact me and we will be on the way.
Either way, thank you so much for your writing. Take care and best regards.

Gosh, you look to have a beautiful house and garden, Carver! :)

Beautiful azaleas (and your daughter is charming)... it would definitelyh be worty backing up the drivway if it means not having to prune those way down. What part of the country are you located? We have azaleas here in the Pacific Northwest, but I've never seen them so huge.
Beautiful shots and wonderful azaleas! Have a great day!

I like to back into my driveway, too, but not for the same reason. I live on a busy main street. I like your reason better. Beautiful!
Wow, I didn't know azaleas could get so big. Your driveway is glorious, and your daughter is lovely.
