The cascading azaleas, planted in terraces along both sides of the road, create a breathtaking spectacle of color. In the early morning light, the petals dance gently in the breeze, resembling a waterfall of flowers, almost too beautiful to be true. Red azaleas blaze like flames, burning intensely as if to ignite the entire street; pink azaleas, like the blush on a maiden's cheek, softly blend among the green leaves. Occasionally, a few petals drift down, becoming a gentle poem in the eyes of passersby. The azaleas here are not as majestic and unrestrained as those in the wild, but they exude a touch of urban charm amidst the ordinary hustle and bustle of life. The branches are within reach, and the traffic and flower shadows intertwine in the twilight, like a silent dialogue—the city's noise is quietly filtered by the falling petals, leaving only the resonance of heartbeats and blooming flowers. Joggers stop to take photos 📸, busy office workers pick up fallen petals and tuck them into their notebooks, and even the windows of cafes borrow the flower shadows as their artwork.
