Buried

False indigo

Nearly two hours of shoveling this afternoon, 

which included lots of pauses to rest.

Wood aster and sedum

Just as I finished, the sun appeared low in the western sky.

Siberian iris and Japanese windflower

With my breath back, and my back beginning to relax, 

I looked around and thought: 

I'm overdue for some picture taking.

Azalea

Northern Sea Oats

Solomon's Seal

  

 Driveway

 More driveway

  Wind sculpture

Thank God for a clear sky!

My constant companions:

snow boots and snow shovel

It may be February, but it looks like Christmas.
