My favorite shrub

This is my official favorite of the shrubs at the new house. In the spring, just after we moved in, it had a wonderful sweet-spicy smell that immediately made me homesick. And now, as you can see, it's putting on a pretty decent display of fall colors.
Opinions vary as to what it is. Azalea? Rhododendron? Something else entirely? Nobody's quite sure.
On a nerd note, this is from the shiny new Canon 5d. Check out the close-up for a sample of how many damn pixels this thing really has, and how crisp it is.

After checking out that close-up, all I can say is, "Holy elepidotes, Batman! Look at the axillary bud mycobionts on that thing!"
