North Carolina in Springtime with Hobbits

[lavendertook]

I'm back a week from my trip down to Chapel Hill, so let me at least post pics one by one until I can write a full trip report.

The first couple of days I was down there it was rainy, but M. and I went out between rains one afternoon to Duke Gardens in Durham, one of the best places down there to see flowers. I brought along the hobbits, and here they are sitting on a bench with camellia blooms.

Bingo and Sam at Duke Gardens with Camellias, 3-31-11

I swearz we did not pick those blooms--the camellias are so loaded with blooms, they strew plenty still in their prime upon the blanket of petals lying beneath each bush. So we picked up a few of those for the hobbits' posing pleasure. I'll be posting more pics of the gorgeous camellia blooms in their lovely variety.
