On the way to the wisteria gardens several weeks ago, my carload and I saw a sign for a city celebrating an Azalea festival and we stopped in for a peak. First we hit some tourist shops in the town before hiking into the woods and up a hill to see the beautiful sights. At the top of the hill were fox-themed musical performers from the shrine and enough snacks and plants for sail to keep anyone entertained, but the best part was the view. So I will leave you to enjoy some of the sights and pictures.
While watching a fox filled musical performance, I ate an ice-cold cucumber on a stick. It was a refreshing and delicious snack for such a hot day.
The red arrow points to the top of the hill where the festival was.
(The picture was taken as we were getting back into the car.)
The flowers were gorgeous. My mind got stuck on the cold cucumber snack, though. If this had been a US festival, the snack du jour would have more likely been a fried Twinkie on a stick...
