Sun, Snow, and Shadows

1.29.2011 The sun shines today. It says to me pause, no matter how busy you are, and admire the beauty of this garden. Pay attention, it is not dead. Even though it is sleeping, it is full with life and sparkles in my light. Do you see spring? Stretching shadows, longer days.

  5. Wonderful shadow play Violet Fern! I love them all but the front porch lattice creates quite an illusion . . . I get dizzy scrolling down! Beautiful captures of winter. It looks a great deal the same in my world.

  7. Lovely photos. The shadows on the snow are so striking at this time of year. I love how winter opens us up to enjoying the simplest kind of beauty in the garden.
