I see green, but not so much.
I see grayed, afternoon light filtering through the new flowers and bouncing off …..new verdant leaves.
Hellebore backed by boxwood is the brightest green in the snowy landscape.
I see browned leaves of last year providing nourishment as they decay, and beauty as they let light through the thinning membrane …
of spent petals and faded leaves.
I see detail in life lived.
I see SNOW, but there are places where it has melted.
There are places yet touched by the sun.
I see color in a landscape devoid of much. But a wealth of texture abounds.
I see green lichen as a sign of Spring.
I see much in spite of the snow.
I see life all around, enjoying the snowy landscape.
Those that enjoy the nuts and those that can’t…..
And those that wish they waited to make a Spring appearance……
Both big and small.

You still have THAT much snow, I guess I will be in time then, 10 more days to go!
It is raining today. I hope all the snow leaves. The big piles and the snow in the shadows are a bit persistent. Yesterday it snowed, so that did not help my cause. Go green.
Good stuff! I really like the photo of the membrane of the decaying bloom and the lichen. Cheers to more green!
Green it is, today is rain…hoping more green is to come. The snow is finally on the way out, I think. Sundays forecast is frozen mix and that is the worse day.
I LOVE the way you see things!! What a delightful post! Like you said, ‘a wealth of texture abounds’. So true. I think snow makes you look deeper at every stage and sign of life!
Thank you for your visit! I’ll surely be back!!
Thank you. I liked my visit to your blog also. I like textures. There is so much to take away from studying those found in nature.
I love all those details in the flowers, the decayed leaves…so lovely!
Me too. I look for details.
You make brown look good, you know…the squirrel, the groundnuts! A delightful post.

Thanks Rosie. The nuts were my best photo. I like the Tufted’s expression.
Fantastic photos! And the green Hellebore is really – green!
Have a nice day!

It really is that green, but the boxwood reflect the deep green back so I guess the lighting plays with the image.
I see beauty,
I see art,
I see balance,
I see life,
I see kindness,
I see talent.
Very thoughtful and very nice comment. Carolyn liked it too.
A lovely selection of pictures. Lichen always seems to come in unusual shades, even if the basic colour is a common one. Hopefully your snow will disappear before long!
I like finding the little stuff, like the lichen.
I just love the first picture! Helleborus are so beautiful. You still have a lot of snow, but I saw in one of you comments that it was raining, so perhaps it’ll be gone soon.
Have a nice weekend. /Anette
The day turned sunny and most of the snow is gone. It started out raining, then snow, now sun. What a weather strange day.
Lovely and poetic, so much beauty when one only opens ones eye. The world outside isn’t all the white after all. You even mad me see the beauty of worms!
Enjoy your, hopefully sunny, weekend 🙂
Worms, not that pretty, but they happened because I uprooted an annual that I did not pull last fall, and a worm family was in the root ball. I saved them by tucking them back in the earth.
Can you just add my name below what One said so eloquently about your marvelous post?
Thank you much.
Lovely photos!
You mad me even see the beauty of worms.

Well, the worms were happy to get back under the earth. It was a bit nippy for them to be out.
So many beautiful pictures…..
I´m also longing for green 😉
Have a great weekend.
You too have a great weekend. And hope for green to replace white.
Oh so many good pitures you have /Suss
Thank you.
You see quite a lot! It is unusual in this age when everything moves so fast to find someone who stops to look at little things. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Masha. I do look at detail. Comes with my job I suspect.
you found a lot. 🙂 And, I think we all want more green around now.
Have a great weekend.
You too find yourself surrounded by spring green. And a good weekend too.
I really like your pictures. Have a nice weekend/Gela
You are an amazing photographer. Congrats.
Beautiful. And full of hope, perhaps with a tad too much expectation for comfort? Look forward to your first snow-free post!
Beautiful pictures! Love the one with the little squirrel:)
Have a nice weekend:)
Vilka bilder och poesi du bjuder på. Tänk att nyss komna tulpan-blad kan vara så vackra på nära håll. är det en stenskvätta som äter av jordnötterna. En daggmask är ett vårtecken som heter duga. Likaså Canadagåsen som sin placering i snö trotsallt signalerar vår. Tänk att taklöken är så vackert rosaröd. Ha en skön helg! Zinnia
I sent your comment to Google Translate and this is what they thought it said in Swedish.
What images and poetry you are bidding on. Remember that just Arrived tulip-leaf can be as beautiful up close. it is a Wheatear who eats peanuts. A worm is a sign of spring that look quite respectable. Similarly, Canada goose as its placement in the snow after all our signals. Imagine Sempervivum is so beautiful pink / red. Have a great weekend!
All seasons offer so much to see and appreciate. I love your photos!
Yes under all that snow – the summer is soon coming. It is wounderful to have a close look and wow like what I see.

A great post – very poetic!
