Gardening is a pastime popular to many... and this time of year I start to think about spring plants growing in the garden. The trouble is that it is only the middle of winter, so.... a walk in the garden to see what's there is in order. Please join me.....
The snow cover can be pretty.... and it also adds moisture to the garden. The blackberry vines in the back need to be trimmed in the spring... I need to remember to do that... they look quite messy.
A peaceful spot...
Too cold for a picnic, but pretty under the pines anyway. :)
The design of the snow on the floor planks is interesting....
I love the spot of color in the otherwise rather colorless scenes. :)
I probably should take this in each winter, but I never do.... I just enjoy seeing the color out there. :)
Echinacea seed heads... stark, but interesting against the snow... they have a beauty all their own.
The red berries of the holly tree also provide some wonderful color.... Again I am reminded of God's creativity... in colors, leaf shapes, textures and more. :)
The pine cones and needles look nice....
Footprints... not many yet, but a few... :)
Okay, I think I feel ready to go back inside and wait for spring.... and the beginning of growing things again.
Thank you for taking a winter garden walk with me. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)

These photos are beautiful. We don't get much snow here, and I don't have a garden - so I'm doubly envious! thanks for linking up with #WeekendBlogHop!
ReplyDeleteI get tired of the snow and cold, but I am thankful for it... and I would really miss it if we didn't have it. I'm glad you could experience it in the pictures. Thank you for visiting. :)
DeleteLovely pictures my friend! You've got a beautiful garden, even in the winter there is beauty to be found!
ReplyDeleteThank you.... I think so too... the beauty is there... just a little harder to find. :) Glad you have you today.
DeleteI love seeing these pictures, especially since we rarely get snow where I live. The red and blue in the midst of all the black and white really stands out!
ReplyDeleteThey do.... the colors almost get lost in the overabundance of color in summer, but they really stick out now. :) Thank you for visiting.

Thank you.... so nice to have you visit from afar. :)
DeleteGorgeous photos! I love gardening and always take at least one stroll through my Winter garden. Although I am dreaming of Spring, it's fun to see the visual interest winter brings! I did a post about it last winter. Love what you shared! Hopped over from Funtastic Friday.
