Blue skies


I was in town last week having coffee with the girls again. That morning we had a nice dusting of snow on the mountains so we've had temperatures of 0 to -1 at night. I bought some red Camellia trees to plant along the front fence which will make a nice show of flowers next Winter. This photo showing Speights Ale House on the left and the defunct Royal Hotel further down (which is now closed due to earthquake problems) with the blue sky above shows how most of our Winter days go - we get a crispy dry cold with sunny days.

 Linking up with Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday.

You've still got very cold temperatures. Our temps have gone down too. They're liveable now.
The camelias sound lively

I have a few camelias in the front yard. They add colours to the facade in winter.

I like ém old buildings. Blue skies in winter would be very cold in Finland. You´re so lucky.
