Hot pink rhododendron blooms are the focus of this image, and the big surprise is that they are in full bloom on December 1st in Portland, Oregon. The blooms are on a large rhodie bush with elongated green leaves surrounding them. The background shows blurry muted fall colors of rust colored leaves on the ground, narrow gray tree trunks and bush branches, plus some yellow and orange leaves here and there.

Wait! What month and day is this?! December 1st, you say? And pink rhodies are blooming??? What a delightful surprise to encounter!

Rhododendron in my yard. It's my favorite color.
