Woodard Azalea Trails


East Texas is awash in blooming dogwoods and azaleas. 



What a wondrous tribute to the beginning of Spring!  Branches of shrubs are heavy laden with gorgeous blooms in dozens of shades of red, pink, coral, lavender and white.



I decided to create a photo journey of my very own Azalea Trail.  Most of our plants are young, but what they lack in size, they make up for in bountiful blooms.  So enjoy your time on the Woodard Azalea Trails!

 


The lakeside yard is too beautiful for words. Blooms are everywhere!


Before the azalea blooms fade the hydrangeas will burst into large blue and lavender mopheads of color.


Double flowers~



Let's walk to the front yard...


A sunny spot to enjoy the blooms.




On to the West Garden....


New ferns begin to unfurl.


And the clematis vine emerges from hibernation.



The native Cross Vine will be visited by butterflies, bumblebees and honeybees.


One of my favorite places to sit and mediate surrounded by God!




A lantern marks the West Garden trail entrance.


You never know who might be hiding in the azaleas!


Hope you enjoy your own spring journey! 

Be love and be blessed,
