CAMELLIAS

The camellias are blooming all over town. I think it might be a bit premature - it's supposed to be near freezing again this weekend But they're beautiful for the moment. The tree outside my bathroom window has been covered in glossy green leaves all winter, but the new pops of vibrant pink peeking out above my little cafe curtains remind me every morning that spring is coming. Spring is coming!
