Winter Escape

Winter tends the garden with leaf piles and broken branch nets of security and cover refuge for all the woodland creatures as they slip in and out the windy cold. Within the graying skies a purple blush blends the clouds mixes in the light and dark with eerie anticipation of the bleak white snows to come. Walking the pathways once lined with bloom and blossom all that remains is browned stick remnants of summer warm hidden beneath the grass and scattered leaves. Beneath the earth secured safe and protected bulb, seed and root hold firm renewing themselves for spring buried deep and unseen in their winter escape.
