The heavy snow smashed any grasses in the garden and all else looks weather worn here. Your camillia is gorgeous. What a nice bright spot in the garden. I hope nothing more than rain comes your way. The same storm is inundating us with rain.
ReplyDeleteThe raindrops on the maple are so pretty. It is hard to find the beauty in the winter garden.
ReplyDeleteIt's all beautiful!!! Love gardens in the winter...that's when we see the bones
ReplyDeleteThe Winter garden has it's own rewards. The gardener as well as the plants need to rest and plan for Spring. In the PNW we call 70° summer! Wouldn't trade places with you though for fear of the tornadoes: stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are spectacular.. We are expecting a blizzard tonight and unfortunately, we are committed to being out and about in it tomorrow... Could be interesting!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas...Larry
Love the color on the viburnum, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, Stay warm and safe. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, I agree with you . On the first glance there is not much going on in my garden at this time of the year, but if I really look closely I always find something that is delightful, fascinating, and utterly beautiful. Hopefully the storm isn't too bad! Wishing you and your partner a Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that you still have little pretty spots around in your winter garden, because they can be so hard to find!
ReplyDeleteTrue that! Here, it is mostly brown, but we also had ice, and that made for some pretty pictures. Thanks for sharing Phillip. Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas.~~Dee
