My favorite camellia...

Started blooming early this year. This particular variety is supposed to bloom from late March to early May. Not this year.

What lovely softness here. And so interesting to see what you were doing nine years ago....is that when you started photography? started 365?

@granagringa Thank you! Nine years ago for starting 365. I skipped the years in between, sadly. No time for it with my previous job.
