Flower Friday! Camillia

I am sitting drinking Golden Monkey tea, which was a present from my son( thank you my dear son!)   doing my blip for the day and thankful that I got outside and took pictures in between the nasty rain we have had today.  The wind is blowing like crazy and the rain is pelting the window.   Other wise it's been a great day! 
     These flowers are the first Camellia's that I have seen in our neighborhood.  Ours usually bloom fairly early, but our neighbors' is out first this year.   I was glad to see it too! 
     Thank you all for the encouragement for my Abstract photo yesterday and I am thinking I may be getting this yet!  Thanks also for the stars!  Y'all have a great week end and stay warm and dry!!
