Description
We got some pretty heavy frost a couple weeks ago. This rhododendron is next to the house, and a bit more protected than the rest of the yard.
The way the leaves are drooping in the cold made me think of a dancer's skirt. They usually stand out more from the stem.
This small bud will take center stage in May.

I had some just like this, but I sure didn't see the same thing. Wonderful find!!
Oh yeah! Hopefully you'll catch this dance in its full glory then great capture Tara
This bud is all dressed and ready to dance. :)))))) Beautiful dancer. :)))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Warm Smile In Your Heart :)))))
Beautiful capture
This is amazing.
Love the depth of field in this Tara!
An evergreen of sorts, huh? At least 3-3 1/2 months before we see those beautiful flowers blossom once again. Nicely done:)
They still have a beauty even like this. Am looking forward to their blooming.
They're preparing to 'dance with the ones that brung them' I think!
demurely drooping and so graceful
Yes it is cold,very cold! Beautiful capture,Tara!
A green plant in the middle of winter, how amazing. Nice photo Tara.
Beautiful plant and wonderful interpretation! Super shot!
wonderful shot
OH yes, I have been wondering why they do that. I see it in my garden too :) Wonderful shot indeed, Tara :)
Beautiful capture, and I love the light coating of frost on the skirts! The dancer is just a bit chilly, that's all; she'll spread her skirts when she warms up again!
I clicked and remembered that you have ythis very pretty colour. They will soon perk up!
Excellent capture of the frost on the leaves.
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
It was worse than that here yesterday People couldn't even make it up their drives But I really like the pic Hugs Susan
The leaves look very attractive with their dusting of frost even though they don't like the cold. How beautiful this one looks in full bloom. I hope the frost doesn't damage the bud at all though they are pretty hardy aren't they.
I can see it now, music up, the leaves rise and off to the dance they go.
nice title, excellent shot
Hopefully they won't have to wait much longer - just a couple of months... A beautiful shot of these rhododendrons, Tara!
Thats a great looking shot, demands to be zoomed,, for maximum effect! The frost is excellent.. Rob
I see what do you mean. Bravo.
