La dame aux camellias

Spring is sprung, and the first camellias are opening - they really are that lurid pink, but each bloom only lasts a day then wilts droopily. It's flipping cold though but no snow yet.

A huge thank you for the hearts and stars for yesterday's sunrise - I was stunned. It was well worth the abrupt rising and rush down to the sea, even before a cuppa had been taken! Such is the power of Blip, normally I can't move till I've had my cup of Earl Grey!
