This post is mainly about mainly about the riot of Camellias on our block. Yes I did go for a walk along Treehaven Way - left home at the first blush of light in the valley in time to see the sun rising over the hills that border Treehaven Way.

Though there were flowers and berries to photograph along the way I was so taken with the volume of Camellia colour on our block that I also walked our terraces and took a few photos of the Camellias. Going back about 7 years ago we planted about 50 Camellia bushes - at the time spindly things about 50cm high - today they are all about 2.5m tall - a big statement on the terraces.

The colours vary from almost dark pink to almost white - laid out in gradations of colour from the rock river in the centre of the terraces.
It is amazing when suddenly what one plans actually comes to fruition - we love it and so do the birds and bees. All images captured with the iPhone of course.
A lovely wander thru our garden B - thanks!
