Beauty doesn't always need color.

 

We Saw the Sun!

But the north wind was fierce, so the 20 degrees felt like only eight.

Can you see the cold?

Green Things, Pale Things, Haws

 

Before the latest snow (only a dusting so far), I went looking for bright green and found a lot.

Fungi had been popping up, too, in the strange December warmth. Little ones -- and big ones! That's the toe of my winter boot for scale.

The green leaves and surprising fungi were interesting, but I needed some red and found it in a little hawthorn tree.

Red!

Pine boughs and rose hips
Make the season bright.

Oh, the Beautiful Snow!
