foggy dew laden morning


Tuesday morning dawned very foggy. It burned off eventually and we had another beautiful spring-like day but while the fog was still heavy, I went out determined to get some pictures.

While most everything is just old and frost damaged foliage,


we do still have a few roses blooming.



The fall blooming tall orange cosmos are just skeletons and seed heads.



The native peach tree at the back of the property is a little confused I think with it's two little blooms.



The vibrant fuchsia miniature gladiolas are emerging.


The shrimp plant seems unbothered by the cold.


A dewey spider web


and an erotic fungus.


The buddha contemplates all.

  1. Looks very similar here. Strangely pre-spring-like, amongst all the dead.

  2. Beautiful pics Ellen, don't know about the fungus, it looks a pretty poorly erotica to me!

  3. Great photos. Love that you have color and blossoms....unlike the 50 shades of brown of my landscape.

  4. Great pictures. Interesting how some plants can continue blooming long after the warm weather is gone.

  5. Could you send it a little northeast. About a thousand miles would do it.

  8. Not countering trees and some ornamental grass that looks good even in death, I only plant things in my yard that are either evergreen or die completely to the ground in winter because winter is depressing enough around here without looking at a lot of stuff that looks dead.

    Great photos as always. Your artistic flare shows.

  9. I kind of like the dead things best, this time of year - flowers seem wrong (although lovely, for sure!).

  10. It always takes me by surprise that you continue to have flowers blooming while we're in this deep freeze. Still, it's so nice to see.
