Blue skies, blossoms, bees and bokeh!

Is it spring or autumn? Calendar says autumn, but this sasanquas camellia tree thinks it's spring (actually, turns out they bloom in the fall). Beautiful find in the park today. Made me very happy to find this!
Looks springy! Pretty!!!

@amandal Apparently there is a cherry tree that blooms in the fall. Who knew? LOL!

I love these shrubs because they bloom during a warm spell - even during the winter. This is a lovely collage of the camellias.

@countrylassie Thanks. They absolutely smelled fabulous. Too bad you can't smell them.
@tonygig @nanderson @lolashafer Thanks so much for the FAV!
@mittens @salza @kategoring Thanks!
@randystreat Are they camellias? They don't look like the camellias that bloomed in our subdivision last Feb and March. They were more of a bush and this is a tree. Is there a tree variety, too?

I did a little research and I think it is. The ones where I worked were tall shrubs. Probably it's how they're pruned.

@randystreat I think you are right. They are a different variety than loom in late winter and early spring. Sasanquas, which looks more like a tree than a bush, and blooms in fall. When I googled them, they looked like this cherry tree that blooms in the fall, but probably is a camellia. I never even though camellia since it was a 7 foot high tree.
