the way I see the world
First Shot: Crimson Bouquet, 12.29.14
Today’s walk was a wonderful eight mile trek to and from our Municipal Rose Garden. There are only a few blooms at this point, and so many of the plants look like they have a disease of some sort, but of course there’s always something to see! This is my first shot, and I may opt to crop it, but not yet. I have to decide on that. For now this will do!
Pink & White Camellia, 2.11.14
This is from all the way back in February. I still have so many photos to sort through: it’s doubtful I’ll ever get through everything, but I will certainly keep trying to do so.
We live in an area that has a lot of camellias. Some are back in bloom now, including our sadly unhealthy plants by our front door. Many more will be blooming soon, and I’ll continue to search for the spectacular camellias in the neighborhood. Filoli opens in February and I’m certain they will have some lovely ones as well.
