Bare trees and Camellia trees

It's already late December. Deciduous trees have shed their such colorful leaves  and been showing their beautiful bare branches. While Camellias add bright red / pink / white colors to the monotony of winter. In Japan, people use Camellia trees as a hedge. In my tiny garden, Camellia flowers are in full bloom now. Bare trees and blooming camellias...Each  plant has a different peak season. Every single thing in this universe plays a unique role for balance, and connects each other. So do we:)

もう12月も後半。あんなに色づいていた木々の葉も落ち、あの、きらきらした裸ん坊の枝があらわになってきました。そんな中、道々、垣根として植えられた赤やピンク、純白の山茶花が冬色になっていく街に彩りを添えています。我が家の庭の山茶花も今満開。それぞれにピークを迎える季節が違うのだとあらためて思います。ただ存在するだけでちゃんとそれぞれの役割を果たしてる...。私たちも同じですね。＾＾
