I would say azalea plants are pretty much local/native plants in Mobile, AL. Every house has to have azalea plants. It looks very similar to one of Thai flower, called “Cha-ba”. They are flowering as shrubs.

My house has the shocking pink color azalea flowers which start to bloom for the second time in this year (the first time they bloomed in early spring when I just moved in to the house). I have about four of them planted on the side of house.

Based on Wiki website, several commercial nurseries in Mobile, AL, are major national suppliers of azaleas in the U.S.

This is just the beginning….

My house is right at the “Tilmans Corner.”, on I-10. It wasn’t that bad YET…

The Hurricance Gustav is moving toward New Orleans. Hopefully, it will not affect my area as much as I thought at first.

This is a breaking news about a photo showing that a shark was jumping behind surfers. The photo was taken by Kem McNair.

What do you think? Is it real?

The answer is YESSS… It’s RIGID!

The photographer snapped this picture at New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The expert said this type of shark has been known to jump and spin in the air, so this photo is likely a real one. CNN reporter even interviewed the witness and photographer, Kem McNair, to confirm the story.
