Any excuse to look back..............

We are deep in the doldrums of a city winter here...........

Someone I know is buying a car............and one of the colors he is considering is "Camellia Red"......

and that made me think of...........

This.................

I had never seen or heard of a 'red' camellia before a Melbourne picnic.........

And then my thoughts went to the other sightings of spring in the south of OZ.........

And all I can think of is that saying "think Spring....." and I keep hoping to have more gratitude for Winter............
