Coming back up the hill, I was shivering with the cold. The fog seemed to penetrate the heavy jacket that I wore. This was not for me! Ms. Ez and I would hope for a better walk tomorrow! Right inside the gate of the rose garden, I noticed a tiny bit of brightness! A single wood violet dared to bloom in all of this drear! As I stooped to photograph the brave violet, I noticed that the winter-blooming camellia was laden with the droplets of fog! Beautiful! This small shrub actually belongs to my cousin. I had dug up one several years ago from her folk's old place. I had no idea that it would do so well in the large pot but today, it is full of the huge blooms! I snapped a few photographs of it. I had plans to send these to her just to let her know that her camellia is thriving! Ahh..even the geranium was forcing a few blooms! This was blooming a bit early but I was happy to see some bit of brightness in the otherwise gloom! So what if the weather was not participating..the plants were!
Ms. Ez huddled closer to me almost knocking me flat on my face! She was ready to get back to her warm bed! My photographing of the flowers was not to her interest and she was not going to tolerate me staring at a plant and ignoring her! Ok..ok..inside we shall go! She and I both welcomed a "warm-me-up"...mine in the form of a mug of ginger tea and hers being a warmed bowl of dog food! Yep...I am just that swayed by a dog! She deserved it, though, for letting me get my pictures!
