These photographs are a continuation of the ones I shared the other day from our trip to the gardens in winter.  Yes, in winter!  I normally would have thought it a waste to bring my camera, but I was wonderfully surprised at the beauty that still lingers in winter.  I know – many people enjoy snow and all that.  Who doesn’t love going down a hill with a sled?  However, I mean trying to find beauty even though the flowers are gone, and everything is a muted gray.  It is there – just as I had silently hoped and I have pictures to prove it!  Hope you enjoy these…
