Letters from America

Sunday 8 July 2018

I have a couple of favourite walks I do between commitments and just to unwind.  Because I am so central in Kings Cross I am spoilt for choice.  Yesterday I took two photographs: one of the foreshore walk that I take down to the Opera House, and the other of a typical back street walk I do through Paddington.

Lots of tourists enjoying themselves!  Even more of them I think, because it’s school holidays.  I am regularly asked to take photos for visitors, not everyone has a selfie stick.

And a somewhat wintery vibe in my typical back street Paddington walk – which is generally quite a deserted walk save for the odd dog walking local.

When I take my long walks in the winter evenings I often pass camellia shrubs heavy with flowers.  I brought a few home this last week.

This morning I found two of my recent prizes on the carpet.  They had dropped out of their bases and landed face up.  It’s  the same habit you see  in the garden, a sodden layer of face up camellias surrounding some shrub.  They defy the cut flower industry.  I don’t think I have ever seen a camellia in a florist’s shop.

So this post is just because the camellias are such lovely oriental beauties.  They may be domestic flowers but they  don’t co-operate entirely with the domestic program.
