You can’t beat Spring in Georgia for the sheer beauty of all of the early flowering plants bursting forth at once.
But as with all good thing, the annual show comes with a high price … it becomes nearly impossible to breathe!
Even those not afflicted with allergies are affected by the sheep numbers of particulates in the atmosphere.
Lots of blooms equal lots of pollen and with no rain to wash it away the air develops a “texture” that makes it hard to swallow.
But I’ll take the side-effects any day!
The show is worth it!

Richard - You are right about the air being a bit thick, but I would not miss this for anything. Enjoy!
Good morning, Richard....I love your photos with beautiful flower beds and brilliant colors....I can't wait until the warmer weather is here in New England... it's cold and rainy today but I'll enjoy what you're sharing.
Dogwoods are going to bloom this week and I can't wait to watch The Masters next week and see the flowers and color along the course!
Richard: Spring does bring a breath of fresh air and a new attitude to all, good luck with your business in 2012. E
Richard~ I was at the NYC Botanical Gardens this weekend.. between the orchids there and the flowers in my backyard trees.. it has been fun... I want to take more photos.. but work gets in the way!! Glad to see you were able to capture a few beautiful shots!
Not sure about the air but I love your photos... and I too love this time of year... Long Island is looking like a beautiuful flower garden.. Have a nice day
Great pictures Richard they represent Georgia well. Your right though a 9,000 pollen count is hard to get past.
Beautiful photos! Here in Texas our beautiful wildflowers and bluebonnets are everywhere and I love to take long drives to clear my head and feel the spring air. It helps me keep a fresh attitude. Have a great day and enjoy those beautiful flowers...hope you aren't too affected by the allergies.
Wow! Great pictures Richard. Love the vibrant colors. Happy Spring to you!
Beautiful indeed. The pollen here is so thick it is all over the cars and you can see it in puddles of water. But you are right, it is worth it.
Peter...
And hopefully we will get a little rain soon to wash it away! Thanks.
Barbara...
Our march has felt more like May. It's crazy, we are way above average in temperatures. THX.
Wallace...
My late father-in-law worked every Masters for 40 years. It's still an important time for us. thanks.
Ed...
So far, so good! Thanks.
Janis...
I know, it seems like we don't have any extra time at all! Thanks.
Richard- I wish I felt as good as these photos look. I was up from about 3:30-5 last night with a pounding headache. Probably the worst I've had in years. The older I get the more this pollen affects me. I've had flu like symptoms for about a week now. Ready for it to be over. Bring on the Rain!
We are dealing with laast falls pollen as we are still quite dry and green up is just starting.
Richard - Come to Albuquerque no pollen here. I'd take it to be able to enjoy the beauty of your area!
I just love your pictures...and they are pollen free! As for me, I am thankful for the rain we had over the weekend that made breathing much easier.
Richard...
Spring has sprung and we love it! thanks.
Gary...
It's been rough here this year, hasn't it? Thanks.
Debi...
I take an OTC pill every day to get me through, but it's still tough! Thanks so much.
TCT...
Thanks you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate them!
Paula...
Yeppers, there is yellow, yellow everywhere! THX.
My wife is dealing with the pollens and dust from this past fall and the molds of the spring.
Richard, I've never had allergies. But this morning while at a home inspection, I noticed my eyes itching and watering and could feel the conjestiion setting in. I had to go inside to get away from it. But I do enjoy the beautiful blossoms.
Have I outgrown my hay fever??? Or, has the right pollen simply not appeared??? Some years I sneeze through the spring. This year, so far nothing.
Folks around me have red noses, beary eyes and inhalers at the ready.
For me, nothing - - - - yet.
