The Rose Knows

My friend Cathy's garden amazes me month after month,  as I visit often for our garden project.  Last week, this perfect red rose just seemed to know to tuck its head through the fence to adorn her birdhouse!

Shards

My friend Cathy's wonderful garden is a photographer's paradise in so many ways.  My eye was drawn to these shards of broken pots,  as well as the plantings.

Winter seems to be the season when I have the time to share photographs taken during the year that just never seemed to make it to the blog.  My daily photobloggers know the challenges that winter brings.  I hope you won't object to some photographs from my archives from time to time for the next few months.
