Azaleas in my yard.

Living in Atlanta during pollen seasonis no coughing matter!  The area is known for it's rolling terrain, Azaleas, Dogwoods, Ornamental Cherry, Wisteria and manicured lawns. Homes along some of those famed streets; Habersham, Tuxedo, W. Paces, Spalding and Ashford-Dunwoody are breathtaking during this time of year. The Atlanta area doesn't boast bus loads of "leaf-peepers" but no other part of the country can compare to us during Spring.  Callaway Gardens, just south of Atlanta is the world's largest Azalea display during these pollen-ridden weeks, but what a fantastic sight to behold!

I recently read that there were other cities in the US which had a higher incident of allergies, but I doubt any other city could reach a pollen count of 5,000 on a regular basis; 100 is considered extremely high!

With this misery of our sinuses comes beauty!  With the yellow rivers of pollen floating down our driveways and sidewalks after a Spring shower comes enormous petals of color.  Most residents learn to live with this season, sweep their porches twice a day and take plenty of antihistimines because the spectacular sights are worth every sneeze!

John - I have never been to Atlanta.  I have always wanted to visit and enjoy the area as I have read much about it as well as seeing the "movies" view of it.  Nice post!
