this or that thursday: camellia blooms

I can't believe December is here already! It's been a busy, but fun week after being out of town for Thanksgiving and starting to decorate for Christmas when I got back. Another thing that I love this time of year is that it's time for my camellia to bloom.  It's covered in pretty pink flowers.





It's time to link up again! There are just a few rules.
  • submit the url of your blog post, not your home page
  • link up a photo that was taken by you
  • include a link back to my blog in your post (you can use the button or a text link if you prefer)
  • visit a few other blogs and leave some comment love 
Okay, now let's see what you want to share today!

    I have been blogging for a few years but have recently set up my own photography blog, so am delighted to be joining your meme for the first time. I will be following you and adding your badge and blog to my pages. Your camellia is beautiful it will be some months before I see mine in bloom.

    We have several Camellia bushes around the house and they all have different colored and types of flowers. And two of the don't bloom until Jan/Feb. I love having pretty flowers in the winter! :)

    Camelias are one of my favorite flowers, they are so fragile though.

    I have finally managed to get organised enough to join Thisorthat. Yeah for me, thanks for hosting Deb :)

    I know it is crazy how quickly the month will pass now that it has arrived.

    I have to admit this is the first year in a long time that I can't wait for Christmas to get here. I look forward to seeing my son's face on Christmas and to enjoying all of the gifts with him.
