We had a time of it with draught in Alabama this past winter, but spring time finally brought precious rain. And that made our state's natural landscape all the more lovely. What a great diversity of natural beauty we have! The picture above shared by Uncle Wylie (Wylie Pierson Johnson) can make us appreciate that fact. He is admiring the wild Alabama azaleas (honeysuckle azaleas) on his property at Halfmile Shoals in Shelby County, Alabama. Thank you, Uncle Wylie!

Want to count your blessings? Just take a walk in the Alabama woods on a beautiful spring day. It will come naturally.
