I just noticed this in the recently updated weblogs list. A new weblog of Boston Photobloggers.

camelia

I spent the day with my mother at camelia show, which is taking place today and tomorrow at the Arnold Aboretum.

Part of the show that I enjoyed was the traditional Chinese tea tasting, which was being hosted by the owner of the Qing Ping tea house and gallery in the South End. Interesting stuff if you're into tea (which is a variety of camelia, by the way.)

what gives

Parts of South Carolina are recovering from a foot of snow, while here, in New England, it is positively spring like.

Of course, the scenes around here still have that wintery look.

How could I possibly resist

an Edward Gorey quiz based on The Gashlycrumb Tinies?

You will swallow some tacks. You are a little
weird, maybe not so much in a good way. Buy a
yellow tie and wear it on your head.

evidence of spring

found yesterday on Huntington Ave

and along the Esplanade

Though, I'm with those who feel we need at least one more good snowstorm to make this a real New England winter. Besides, a blanket of snow on the ground is actually good for those early spring plants, like crocuses.
