Gleanings


I actually collected these back in the beginning of December, took the pictures, then wandered off.

Now all of the plants are crushed beneath the snow.

That first one is a cattail that has gone to seed. It has sort of felted itself into a little pillow. All the others are roadside weeds and a sedum flower.

I found the structures kind of fascinating.

Spikey

Soft
Delicate

the lack of color seems to bring the structures into focus.

Each one different yet following its own logic.


Order disintegrating into chaos.

Hi Gilly
yes a fondly held promise right now! I have begun to look forward to a bit of a thaw!
