Colors to brighten your day

For those who are in a funk or depressed from all the winter weather, I wanted to share some color with you. Some of these photos were taken in mid-December; and others were taken on the 23rd of December. So that means all these photos are more than a month old. But this is the time of year when all of us, including those of us who live in California, are lacking color around us. So it's time to brighten everyone's day!


This is one of our miniature roses in our front yard, taken in mid-December, and on a day the sun was shining.
You not only get to see our newly painted house, but also get to see one of our grasses - miscanthus sinensis - in its beautiful full blossom. This was also taken mid-December, before all the storms had hit.
This is one of our heath shrubs in full bloom. Again, mid-December.
Cancun rose, taken mid-December.
Cancun rose, taken December 23rd.
This is our navel orange tree (back yard), mid-December.
Orange tree, December 23rd. Anyone hungry for a sweet and juicy orange, freshly picked from your own tree?
