Camellia
This camellia is just starting to bloom. It has nice green shiny leaves all year round and these soft white flowers in the spring. They only stay nice a very short time in this climate. Once the rain touches them they start to get brown.
I feel very fortunate to have known some good teachers in my life. They gave me the childlike curiousity to learn a little every day, appreciate the wonder all around us, and last but not least the ability to not take things too seriously. I can sit really still sometimes. Other times I just go in circles. I love to laugh, and try to make other people laugh. I ran out of room on the interest section but I also am interested in water, air, life, birds, flowers, animals, mountains, rivers --- everything.
