winter's bloom
Nature's canvas is so subdued in the wintertime. But while its muted colors are not as dynamic as the bright hues of spring, you can still find beauty in winter's bloom.
Rejardin's image below does just that. The lonely flower bud looks well past its prime, but it still reaches out to offer passersby a little taste of snow. I love how this photo captures this soft and delicate moment.
My image above was taken in the wonderful English garden on the grounds of my apartment building. We've had almost 60 inches of snow in New York City this season and these hardy flowers reaching up from underneath the thick white blanket are few and far between. Such remnants of warmer days have a certain beauty of their own, and remind me that spring is just around the corner.

Pretty as can be! My goal today was to take colorful winter pictures and it went so well : ) I could find it everywhere when I started looking intently! : )

These are just wonderful...I love how subtle the textures are.
Thank you so much for featuring my photo! I love your sedum photo, the composition and texture. My sedum is currently buried under 3 feet of snow.
