In anticipation of the early spring Punxsutawney Phil is going to bestow upon us (fingers are crossed here!), I am trying to get in any winter subjects while they are still available–hint, hint Phil!
Today’s photo is a spent bloom from my lilac bush perfectly encased in ice. I just love how ice looks on plants. The ice seems to magnify the beauty of the form of the bloom.
Let it be noted, though, that I don’t love the ice enough to prolong winter. And if your reading this Phil, please, please, please predict an early spring tomorrow!
