Heart-shaped Avocado leaves

During winter the Avocado leaves become very crisp, and when crumbled in the hands the scent is kind of like licorice.

Ice on the back yard pond; we had our first true frost last night.

Ice Storm

Out in traffic the effects of the ice storm are not so pretty.

Blue Jay

Blue Jays, Cardinals, Grackles, Chickadees, Woodpeckers.. and other birds too numerous to list.. seem more noticable during winter at the Dallas Arboretum, a perfect place to visit during any time of year.

In the midst of winter we are back to Nature’s basics; we are to see the beauty of Structure, and the structure of Beauty.

Our windy December garden still has a few frost-bitten Cosmos.

Cotoneaster “Cornubia”

…splashes of color on the Cotoneaster ”Cornubia” in our next door neighbor’s yard… branches are redder on the other side of the fence! They will remain this way most of the winter, minus a few berries plucked by birds.
