Winter in this part of Virginia can be chilly and as colorless as the drab grey of the ubiquitous naval warships and aircraft carriers that dot the various harbors of Hampton Roads. There are a few exceptions here and there. The Norfolk Botanical Garden is showcasing its vast camellia collection, although many of the huge shrubs are still just loaded with buds. I spent some time today completing work for my photography course and enjoying a rare balmy day. Tomorrow will be back to cold... albeit sunny and cold.
