The third garden I visited on my trip to the Atlanta area was Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain. I’ve heard for years about the azaleas at Callaway Gardens – and from what I saw – it must be spectacular when the azaleas bloom. I ending up visiting just after the early azaleas bloomed and just before the later ones bloomed. So not peak, but still very beautiful.
Here are some of my photos from my visit to Callaway Gardens.

As I walked through the woods I found beautiful scenes and lots of wildflowers to photograph.

I would love to visit Callaway Gardens again. My guess is that it’s a wonderful place to explore and photograph throughout the year.
