It was very warm for April yesterday, almost 80F.(26.5C)
I had an Etegami session at my house,
my girlfriend Kristy and her son Haru, joined me.
In my neighborhood, I noticed a fantastic shrub of camellia;
the lovely ‘Iwane Shibori’…
Although fading in the warm weather, (a late winter bloom)
the marbled pink-red colors caught my eye…
I got permission and cut one for our subject today…
