…back to winter’s harsh climate
We’ve had several days of very severe winter weather…..snow, freezing temperatures and winds that make it feel even colder. All of this happened just days before the first day of spring. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to post macros of emerging plant life with some green and colour in it.
….happy Family Day to all my Canadian friends
My happy place….taking close-ups of winter hardy plants

I’m always searching for the perfect or at least somewhat interesting photo when I’m out walking. On days like today when the temperatures have dipped below freezing and there’s a brisk wind in your face it’s uncomfortable taking off your gloves to shoot that perfect shot. I have come up with ways to warm up my hands when I put the gloves back on but I am definitely fussier as to what I want to photograph.
Today on my walk in the park I managed to get a shot of the beach closest to the park entrance. After taking my first photo a flock of geese took off in the sky and I managed to grab another shot. I wanted to get a photo of the bullrushes that were shaking off their fluffy seeds but the wind prevented me from getting a perfectly focused shot. In the end I decided that the shots that I had managed to get were fine for today and because I was in danger of slipping into the pond if I got any closer to the bullrushes the consequences could have been very bad for my health and longevity.

…with most plant materials lying dormant the remaining leaves, seedpods and bare branches have a dry and brittle feel to them
…on a very soggy walk I managed to find some trios in winter gardens
Trios can come from anywhere. If you have any to share I’d love to see them. Copy my link and paste it into your post. I will get a pingback and I’ll be sure to leave a comment.
