Winter has put to rest the colors I took for granted late summer. O where are the velvety petals from spring?
Here are five shots from 2013.

Five Shots: The Year In Flowers
Cindy Bruchman 
Stunning! Love each, but the last two are absolutely divine. We have sleet and freezing rain on the ground. I was so desperate for anything to snap, I cornered some weeds and made them pose pretty before the storm hit. No wonder I’m always sick lately.

Oh, you poor thing! Take care of yourself. Lately I’ve been buying flowers at the grocery store just to have color again to look at. Thanks for your comments! 🙂

Thanks, Abbi! It was surrounded by a 100 others when I took the shot. Not the lily means a lot today, when it’s frigid and dead outside.

Oh, thank you! It was a windy day and they swayed and “talked” to us. Blue/gold is a favorite color combo for me. 🙂

Nice daffodil! I have several of those in my back yard that pop up on the 1st of every March, just like clockwork. Those and catnip are about the only plants I seem to have much luck with.

That burst of yellow after the monochromatic gray of winter always brightens my day 🙂
