 We all have to accept the fact that Mother Nature dictates what we can enjoy and when. I was able to capture these container gardens few months ago, when they were in their prime. Today tough, is a totally different story. It’s cold, there’s freezing rain, fog, oh well, total misery; however, no snow yet. Still, I don’t want to complaint. I am grateful to be alive and furthermore, able to continue enjoying these beauties, even though they are in simple photos. Smile.
