Winter Wildflower


Beauty can be found in all seasons.


Here in the northeast it's still chilly.
 I see daffodil leaves peeking out of the ground in my front yard.
While waiting for spring flowers to arrive,
I thought I'd share a photo I took at Lake Minnewaska.
To me this winter wildflower is just as pretty as any spring bloom.
I love the textures.

Sometimes we just need to take the time to look a little closer.

Hope you're having a good week!

  1. That has great texture, I love the dried up flowers, too. It's certainly better than nothing, isn't it. Everything is under several feet of snow here, still.

  3. To be able to see the subtle winter beauty in dried flowers is a gift. Also, the quote from Picasso on your sidebar is one of my favorites. I'm visiting from "A Favorite Thing".

  4. Dear Lynn
    How lovely to meet you at Claudia's party and thank you for visiting my blog!
    I agree that is a beautiful wildflower, I can imagine a large vase of them would be stunning.
    I've pressed some Queens Anne's Lace flowers from my garden and I can't wait to see how they dry.

  5. Oh Lynn, you do see the beauty in all things, don't you? There is even beauty in a flower that hasn't blossomed yet, as it is getting ready to bloom. I noticed your tulips below too, they are so pretty. Have a nice weekend, and I really enjoy seeing your delightful pictures. Thank you.

  8. I love flowers, especially wildflowers. They often look their best when the blooms have faded and present wonderful photo ops! This one is lovely.

    Happy weekend - hope it's full of 'favorite things'.

  11. What a gift to find beauty in all things. I love dried flowers and always have something drying. My favorites are hydrangia at the end of summer. Blessings

  12. Its so exciting to see something emerging from the ground, isn't it? I feel so at one with the garden in that moment. Pretty picture.

  13. Lynn, that is one gorgeous photo. I feel the same - I love the look of flowers that have turned brown and are part of a winter landscape. Thanks so much for joining in this week!

  14. Beauty! For those of us who live in colder climes we learn to see beauty in the simplicity of a past bloom standing out starkly against the winter sunshine. daffodils and crocus are shooting up in our gardens as well.
