Flowers

For some reason, I find myself photographing a lot of flowers lately.  'Tis the season, I suppose.

This is from my camellia bush which FINALLY bloomed.  I've only been saying to Sweetie for about 6 months that it's going to bloom "any day," and it finally did.  I sacrificed one bud for my elegant vase (for the tea ceremony) but learned that they wilt quickly!  This was taken after just a half day....
