SHEZ, I CHOSE THIS TITLE BECAUSE IT IS YOUR CATCH WORD. I HOPE THAT IT DOES GIVE YOU SOME ENJOYMENT.
It's winter, and wet, and windy, and I thought I had no flowers at all. I went to the hot house at the botanical gardens and they only had cyclamens, cinnerarias and primulas on display. Nothing wrong with that, but anyway the light was gloomy and I wasn't that happy with what I got. (Would have used something if I'd had to, because I wasn't about to neglect this special challenge for Shez.) Then I found that the camellia in my back corner had just started to flower, so I took some shots of the three available choices - all a bit bruised and tattered - and by cropping and spot healing etc. ended up with this.
