Tuesday's Flower Fun 08-09-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I thought today that I would have some fun with a camellia picture I took in the late winter/early spring.  I put my camellia into a pencil sketch, faded it a little, increased saturation and, well, I hope you like the result.  Sometimes it's fun doing a little something different, and sometimes, different is good.

I hope you had a different kind of good day.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Camellia for Saturday 02-06-16

Hello and happy Saturday.  The camellias are blooming!!  Yes.  Remember the white camellia bloomed early?  Now, the red or fuchsia.  One of the blooms is actually red and white.  I'm so fortunate that I have plants or bushes that bloom at different times during the year so I can make more photographs.

I hope you had a wonderful Saturday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Holidays Camellia 12-27-15

Hello and happy Sunday.  Since you've seen a few pictures of my white Camellia, it's time you met another - my red and white Camellia.  And yes, even though it's unseasonably hot here in the Southeast, this beauty is blooming at just the right time for all the holidays celebrated at this time of year.  I consider myself very fortunate to be surrounded by nature's beauty.

I hope you found yourself surrounded by beauty today.  I hope you had a sensational Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Hello and happy Friday.  I just love, love, love this camellia!  Last night it rained and when I was walking the yard this morning I saw it - pretty, delicate white flowers with water droplets all over.  Yippee!  I ran to get my cameras and, well, I really like this one so I'm sharing,  Sharing is caring, right?

I hope you had a caring Friday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Camellia for Tuesday 12-15-15

Hello and happy Tuesday.  Can you believe this camellia bush is still blooming?  Well, it is.  And, while all of the others are full of buds, they aren't blooming yet.  I am seriously happy with this bush this year.  Pulling up in the yard after a long day of work and seeing these flowers is like getting a  few more minutes of energy.  That's a good thing since I have to walk the dogs.

I hope you had something that gave you a few more minutes of energy today.  Some might say that would be coffee.  :)   

I hope you had a terrific Tuesday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tuesday Duo 12-01-15

Hello and happy Tuesday.   Today is also the first day of December.  Can you believe my camellias are still blooming.  Yes, this is the same bush that I showed you a couple of weeks ago.  I have four other Camellia bushes, but this is the only one in bloom - and it's a long bloom time if you ask me.   I'm enjoying the heck out of it because I don't have to go any further than my front yard for great photo opportunities.  Yay me!  Gratitude is my attitude for this day.  

What are you grateful for today?  Did you see some pretty flowers?  Did someone give you a compliment?  Did you get a check in the mail?  There's something good in every day, isn't there?

I hope you had a gratifying Monday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tuesday's Delicacy 11-17-15

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I have a crop from one of my recent camellia flowers for you today.  It was a long day at work for me today and was made even longer by a last minute phone call adding even more work before I finished my day.  Soooo, when I arrived home , all I wanted to do was look at something really beautiful to soothe my weary mind and body.  I went to my photos, and now I feel better thanks to the photo you see.  I love the delicateness of the petals and then the burst of color.  

My spirit has now been rejuvinated.  I hope that you have been a little soothed and rejuvenated as well.

I hope you had a terrific Tuesday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Thurday's a Camellia and Honey Bee Day 11-12-15

Copyright 2015 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Thursday.  This is a camellia from my yard.  They are supposed to bloom in the winter but they surprised me early this year.  I had to take a closer look when I saw the bush blooming.  It looks as though I'm not the only one interested in this flower.  It seems as though a Western Honey Bee also has an interest in my camellia.  And, since I have more camellia photos with and without the honey bee, I'll share more with you on another day.  Maybe we'll even learn a little more about honey bees and camellias along the way.  BEE on the lookout.  (smiley face)

I hope you had a wonderful Thursday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.
