Based on your review of attached photos can you identify the issue of leaf spots on 2 year old azalea. And if you have suggestions on how to treat I would appreciate it very much. Thank you, Randy Zech Cincinnati

I think your issue might be Azalea Lace Bugs.  Though they are usually seen more in spring our crazy weather this year is causing lots of things off season.
