Every year about this time, I walk down the street to Opal’s house and take photos of the blooms on the same Camellia bush. I love the shape and the intensity of their color! It’s also the same type of Camellia located near the grave of Eugenia Price on St. Simons Island. She was a really neat lady, a wonderful author, and someone I had the opportunity to know via hand-written letters. I remember once she told me “Don’t hurry God. He has a plan in all of this.” It was good advice then, as it is now.
