Winter After All
Today was what I used to think of as a good winter day - cold (above freezing during daylight), sunny!, not windy, no precipitation in the air or on the ground. But now, after the uncommonly warm weather we've had so far this "winter", it feels darned cold. Sooooo.....I think these are probably the last pictures of spring flowers for a while. These were taken Monday, and all the flowers held up very well during the first cold night. But...it's supposed to be much colder tonight, and maybe a little bit of rain/sleet/snow for tomorrow. We're not expecting anything at all like what's been happening in Texas (and elsewhere) - sad to read the accounts of ice damage, but look at some of the beautiful pictures it makes:
- Digging (Austin)
- Transplantable Rose (Austin)
- Zanthan Gardens (Austin): cool QuickTime video of snow!

These Helleborus are so lovely. We have them in the garden, but no flowers yet...
We've had some very cold weather since those pictures were taken. I haven't been out lately to see how the flowers are faring.
Your photos are beautiful, Godelieve. I love the digital scrapbook look!
