The winter garden is monochromatic unlike the chaotic cacophony of color in the summer garden. A frosted leaf or branch becomes the focal point, etching an abstract pattern against a cedar wall. A single dried flower against a backdrop of white invites one to look closer to see the abstract beauty of a seed. Have you been to a winter garden? What have you seen?

Oh so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is amazing, Julie. Simple, begging to be looked at, perused, studied, appreciated. I've enjoyed seeing ice on our lakes and rivers this year. That's rare for my neck of the woods and it's been amazing to see.
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of Frosted Coneflower. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say exactly what Cat said - I love the simplicity of that first photo. It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhile I wish winter would finish up, it certainly does make for beautiful pictures. Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. Winter is a special season with textures and calm, simple color palettes. I love the trees outside my window in all seasons but in winter they are stark and black--and beg my camera to capture them in their slumber.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely capture, Julie! I love coneflowers, and they look so amazing in the snow.
ReplyDeleteToo bad, we have 6 more weeks of winter coming! Well Done, Julie!
ReplyDeleteI love the cone flower. Just wonderful!
