I know I have been posting pictures of Savannah‘s camellias pretty often lately (emphasis on “pretty”), but I just HAVE to share a few photos from Robert’s and my trip to the Savannah Botanical Gardens this morning.
Here’s one named for former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
But my favorite was this stunning White Princess from the massive camellia bush above.
The Beauty of Mother Nature!
… from a January Savannah camellia and me.

A few of our autumn photos …
May our change lead us toward good.
About an hour ago, Robert and I arrived at our Seminole State Park cottage in southwest Georgia on the Florida and Alabama border.
It’s overcast and raining with a threat of severe weather.
We’ve been to this park before and love it, one major reason being the prevalence of our favorite tree, the Longleaf Pine.
Here are a few pines outside our door along the shore of a finger of Lake Seminole. They are swaying gently and singing with the wind in the evening rain.
Our hallway Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera), all green just days ago, Suddenly Surprising us with springtime blooms.
So … Merry Christmas, I guess.
Walking along the Savannah River near us, Robert and I came upon this stretch of “weeds” pushing, rising, bursting forth with colorful, flowering life through man’s concrete and bricks.
An early dogwood tree around the corner from us …
We snatched a small branch.
