Winter Ending?

We’ve had considerable cold and snowy weather this February. There is not a lot of color outdoors:

The gray of rock surrounded by snow. The indention will have water when the snow melts - giving the birds a little pool.

The brown pod of a crepe myrtle that was blown from a high branch.

The golden browns- and a little green - of the thorns on the rose bushes.

And then one finds a little more color that signals the stirrings toward spring!

The snowdrops

And witch hazel.

Hurray!
