Flowers like fall colors are fleeting. The Camellia tree blossomed, bloomed, and then dropped its petals like rain beneath the tree. Our first 5 months here have been full of surprises and the rapidity with which all of this happened was shocking.
Had I known that the time was going to be so brief I'd have scheduled a shoot or two everyday to capture as much as possible, but alas. I managed a couple of shoots, but the day Rose and Shelby came over we were lucky to have absolutely beautiful light. The sun that brings the flowers disappeared for a couple of hours. Spring retreated to winter, and we created something special.
