Welcome to my Blog

Pink Snow

Remember the Prince song Purple Rain?  

Although officially spring in Canada, the eastern half of the country is buried in snow... again! 

Roads, schools and businesses are closed.

But in the 'Banana Belt', as this part of the country is referred to by the locals, it's pleasant and mild.

So I did my own sort of 'snow shovelling' today. 
I raked and shoveled the fallen Camelia blossoms from the tree and bush.
They were heavy, wet from the rain last night. 

Camelia are early bloomers, some started blooming in January. 

They come in varying shades of brilliant red and pink and white. 
 Although magnificent to look at they don't have any scent.
