Sun shines through Camillia

At long last some real prolonged sunshine it seems....this is right outside the window by the computer I'm at....my first bloom on this bush this year. I've seen many blooming over in Seattle, but it's a bit cooler and less sunny right across the waters of Lake Washington. Today I slept in a bit...an unusual thing as I usually swim in the wee am hours at the Y. Needed the rest. Now I'm off to take the hooligans out for a romp:) Mono Monday was fun and I think I got caught up on the comments of those participating....but not on my reg. subscriptions!
