White Rhododendron Camellia Lilac (I think) Rhododendron

Petra 234 Photo Face Petra Yell Can I See?

When I point a camera at Petra these days, she makes faces at me or gives me big cheesy scrunch-faced photo grins before rushing over to look at the picture. Natural photos are not easy to come by as a result. I have to sneak up on her. Here sh...
