Galls? on azalea leaves

Walkerton, VA(Zone 7a)

These galls appear on my azaleas every year. They do't seem to harm the plant, but they sure are ugly. Anybody know what critter causes them and a cure?

Just found this - I always wondered about them too.

Thanks, Azalea. I just bookmarked your link. Looks like I've got some work to do.

I had the same problem on one of my azaleas this year. I had no idea what it was. Thanks so much for the hyperlink. I suspected some type of fungus, but wasn't sure. Nice to have a confirmation and solution.
