Shhh! Be very quiet. There, wrapped in a blanket of snow, the flowers and grasses lie sleeping.
Let them rest while they can. Not much longer will they slumber. Not much longer until they awake and send forth green shoots and colorful blooms. Not much longer until – Spring!
What a lovely, interesting photo story!! You are more patient than I am. Let’s just go wake them all up!! It’s great to see the lichen, I can just see a pretty little Blue Gray Gnatcatcher building a nest.
