Crepe Myrtles Blooming All Over My Neighborhood

As I walked my dog this morning, I saw Crepe Myrtles in bloom everywhere!
Mine are in bloom also, but they don't get enough sun to be as spectacular as some in my neighborhood that are in full sun.
I saw pink, red and purple ones, but I didn't get good photos of the purple one.

What a lovely tree. I really like the first shot, and as a seasoned photographer I thought it could be tweaked a little bit to enhance the mood which the wooden fence created counterbalanced by the color and size of the tree. I also applied some "rule of thirds" stuff, a little crop of the top, and quick airbrush to take out a piece of that top branch. The edited image is below. Hopefully it is okay that I have edited and posted this, but if not just let me know and I will delete the pic...

Fantastic! Please leave it. I love your edits to that photo! I’m not good at editing photos because I don’t have the time and/or knowledge to do it! Thank you!

Yeah. Glad you like it. Anytime you have more especially interesting shots feel free to direct my attention to them. Photo editing is an enjoyable past-time for me, so I like to do it. Also, you are free to swap my edit with the original photo in the post (perhaps with a quick "photo edited by @transcript-junky" if you'd like, and feel it might improve the presentation of the overall post). No pressure, of course...

Thanks for the photos @violetmed. Always sharing lovely flowers for the pollinators and people to here to appreciate. I love the shape of these trees, exploding with vigor into the sky. Nice shots.

Hey, anybody from #teambonsai growing one of these? I would love to see an old photo in the comments if you own one.

This is a new one to me. Thank you very much for posting it.

I like the second photo. The red and green and blue...very rich colors. We have lots of crepe myrtles in my neighborhood too. Mostly red ones.

Beautiful... Do they bring out the Bees?

all pick Looking awesome .i love flowers my best second one ...

Very pretty. The first foto is my favorite, with that defocused fence to set off the color. Very nice.

Yes, I thought that one was interesting as well with the fence in the background! I’m just an amateur photographer that sometimes captures some good photos!

Beautiful! I love the bright color of the flowers!
Nice shots! :)

All things bright and beautiful, the Lord has made them all.

Thank you for always sharing the beautiful out look of nature.

Again ma I sent you a message. God bless you ma

Really beautiful, love the colors ! awesome looking flowers!! great shot on red!

I would also like to have such a plant in my garden. But it is unlikely to grow in my country ... A wonderful bush! Beautiful photos)).

My favourite is the bottom one @violetmed. I like the close up of the stamens. 😁

my gosh violetmed ya'll must have a nice neighborhood there, those are gorgeous!

So much color! We don't have anything in bloom right now that is as brilliant as this!

I love it. Beautiful flowers

The last one, @violetmed! Although all the images are beautiful, but that last image shows the beauty of these flowers. In my country I also think I have seen them or at least some of them and they are really beautiful. I have seen them red and fuchsia, but also yellow, white and even green. They abound in the rainy season! They're very wild. It's nice to fall asleep looking at this picture. You have a good night.

@violetmed How beautiful and big crepe myrles covered with beautiful bouquets well-populated with flowers of striking colors. Both colors look super cute. The red is intense and I love it. Excellent friendly view to wake up and be surrounded by such beautiful flowers. It conveys a lot of joy. I like it a lot. Happy evening, dear friend. Your shots were great.

Hermosas flores como siempre, @viloetmed!! Me gustan porque son árboles y no pequeñas plantas, así que sobresalen de las casas y decoran. Buenas noches.

That last image is the best! The flower looks clearer. Not just the color, but the shape and texture. Congratulations! It's a good image.

The crepe that it makes with the flowers is characteristic of these trees. What I like most about them is that the flowers are long-lasting, @violetmed. It's true, when they bloom, the houses and streets look colorful. Good night, pretty lady.
