Camellias in Bloom

There are some beautiful pink Japanese camellias nearby.  Unfortunately, they probably won’t grow in my yard, which has more of a limestone soil.  The local Native Americans used our property to toss their used oyster shells, sort of a garbage dump.  So I find other places to photograph them.  They are quite beautiful and delicate looking, with heart shaped petals.

Only One Day Left to see my Lexington Park Library Photo Exhibit

Here's photo from my exhibit to entice you to visit the collection.  A waterlily in this pale pink shade is easy to over expose.  This photo was 2nd place themed digital at the end of the year competition in the St. Mary's County Camera Club, a competion including only the winning photos from the monthly competitions.  (I also won first for the advanced digital category for my baby gorilla photo.)
