"The sweet scented flowers of pink look so lovely
While bathed now in sunlight and sprinkled with dew,
As gently the weep silver tears of emotion
Which fall to the ground as the skies turn to blue.
So still,
The songs of the dawn,
Camelia shines
As a new day is born."
Andrew Blakemore
Three good things:
1. I might be able to mow the lawn today - the first of the season
2. Attempting to grow capsicums from seed.
3. I'm doing the 2 days a week of only 600 cals in an attempt to lose extra weight - I refuse to weigh myself.
Will be interested to see how you get on with that 2 day diet maggie...it's reached NZ has it..all the rage here bt not met anybody actually doing it. Beautiful Camelia...always impressed by these wonderful flowers so early in the year.
@tremerryn thanks for that - extremely interesting! It follows my own theory about the body getting used to dealing with very high amounts or low amounts of food. You have to confuse it!
I weigh myself every morning after my shower and it can be very uplifting when you start to loose weight. I lost 20kg and kept it off for 2.5 years so far and now there are somethings I just won't touch such as chips as I know if I eat one, I will eat more. !! Very pretty - my dad's fav flower.
Three more things:
1) the picture is lovely
2) it's a lovely day here in the States
3) I refuse to weigh myself too and am working on weight loss as well- good for you!!
A beautiful flower - wish I could smell it too! I've been trying the 5/2 diet (500 cals x2 a week) for just over a month, and am pleased to say it's working. Fortunately I don't need to lose much weight, but I don't this diet difficult.
So pretty, that frame really works well. Good luck with the diet, it sounds interesting..... I refuse to weigh myself too, but all my clothes feel tight so I know there is an extra 9/10lbs floating around my stomach and hips!!
Beautiful - love glowing colours in this.
Sounds like a good idea not to weigh yourself - I've read people get better results when they just go by how comfortable they feel. Good luck with the diet.
Such a gorgeous camellia, Maggie. Beautiful shot! Good luck with the weight loss! Two days a week of serious calorie restriction should get you good results in short order.

600 calories--wow, that isn't enough. Take care of yourself.
