    I love this composition, those trees hanging down from high, and the pathway at the bottom of the frame provides scale and context. Lovely colours and patterns too. Very effective.

    These camellias look so different to the ones I usually see here in England.
    But the Spanish moss does look like the feathers Camilla wears on her hat.
