JANUARY DAYS

 Yesterday we finally got a break in the Pineapple Express rain storms we have been having.

Our camilla bushes were pretty full though battered from the wind and rain.

The wonderful sun came out all day long..

It sure made me a happy camper.



Today we are back to the gloom and "promise" of another couple of days of 95% rain.

Sigh

At least it's not freezing cold here.

Life still goes on and I have things to do, so I will don my rain coat and go for it!

It is stunning!!! I don't think I have ever seen a real one, maybe they don't grow in this part of the country.

What a beautiful picture!

The mad snapper would love the magenta carpet of fallen blossoms!!

I can picture a small two seater bench among the bushes.

Stay dry!

Beautiful!

Hope there is no flooding in your area.

Love your spirit, Sue. "Don the raincoat and take off..." I remember several years ago when I spent 29 days in Oregon when she had some minor surgery. It rained 24 of those days. She had a quick recovery and we didn't let the rain keep us from going and doing!! She is so used to that weather. Boots and raincoats, umbrellas are the ward-robe for months.

My poor flowers and plants on the balcony are begging for sunshine.

I am so glad you have some left on the bush - we have been having some of your winds here!

After watching several news videos of the destructive flooding in CA, it was good to read this post and see some beauty even if on the ground. Hope things will soon be drying out, Sue.

You always have such a god attitude. It inspires me.
The flowers are beautiful.
Without long periods of rain, I wonder if we would be as grateful and appreciative of the sunny days rather than just take them for granted.

Love the carpet of camellias.
