I have to be outside every day—even if it’s just for a few minutes—or I feel restless. There’s something about connecting to the earth that calms and soothes me. Although there’s not much to do at this time of year, I’ll use any excuse to head out to the garden. Speaking of excuses, how about taking pictures? I often bundle up and head out with my digital camera to search my property for something interesting and unusual. Here’s what I found on my last excursion…
oriental chive seed head
winter sky
lambs ears
nigella foliage
yakusimanum rhododendron bud
tansy
