A white perfection have”

Slow but sure…
the garden emerges from the Winter hibernation. Not soon enough. This has been a long, gloomy Winter. Tired of the grey, chill and rain. So much going on the last few weeks.

Multnomah Falls…
on a colder Winter’s Day (upper & lower falls and Benson’s Bridge) The original bridge was of logs but later reconstructed.
‘And there is quite a different sort of conversation around a fire than there is in the shadow of a beech tree….dry logs have in them all the circumstance necessary to a conversation of four or five hours,…with a jug of wine between the legs. Yes, let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.’ Pietro Aretino, translated from Italian

into it we go…
‘What a severe yet master artist old Winter is…. No longer the canvas and the pigments, but the marble and the chisel.’ John Burroughs, 1866

Impatient rose…
Maybe one night was below freezing, so far, this Winter. With temps in the 40’s, this beauty decided to lead the way. I appreciate the effort!

Doldrums…
At least someone is out and about and perky. Winter doldrums of grey days, heavy rains and cold chill have halted my usual outdoor activities of fishing, photography and just getting out there. I do notice a very few hopeful buds on the clematis, roses and rhodies. If their hopeful, I’m hopeful.
