Camellias make Winter disappear

It’s so amazing to me that our parks are full of blooming flowers in the heart of winter, in January. That’s because camellias bloom only in late Fall and Winter. It’s getting down to around freezing tonight, but they will be as colorful as ever tomorrow.

After the horrors of this month in DC, and witnessing the truly repulsive side of humanity in action on Jan. 6, it a great pleasure to turn away from all that and discover beauty in this otherwise cold, and lately, gloomy month of January.

These photos were taken in just the past few days:

Your camellia pics are lovely. It amazes me you can take a walk and see beautiful flowers and spring won’t happen here until late April.
