No match for the azaleas

I was getting concerned about our crape myrtles since there was no sign of leaves on either one, although I do know they flower late. Yesterday, suddenly, leaves were starting to sprout on this one, and today it’s full of them. The tree in back was drastically cut back, which always panics me to look at, but I can see new growth starting on it as well. Amazing how nature works!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Nature has time. Everything comes at a certain moment and from then on it can go fast.

Beautiful new-life image Helen. And you are so right, the workings of nature are most impressive, if not miraculous.
