We’ve been offline all week as we waited for our new computer. Since I was not able to finish the second installment of America’s Native Bamboo in time for this week’s post, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite winter scenes.
I’ll be back next week with a healthy article entitled: America’s Native Bamboo: Identification & Culture. I hope to see you then.
Until then, enjoy these winter wonderland scenes!

A hoary frost on Christmas eve delicately traced the fine lines of the oak leaves.
Snow up to the grapevine wreaths on the old oak shed. I couldn’t resist the wavy line of white snow against the weathered boards.

Ice fog coats the Red Cedar grove in this Ozark scene.
A delicate ice flower blooms from the stem of native Dittany (Cunila origanoides).
A beautiful example of ice needles shooting from this Black Walnut branch.
A snow-ringed bird’s nest in the Jane Magnolia is the local wren’s favorite perch.
Fantastic ice needles erupt from the clay soil all winter long!

An edge of hoary frost highlights the changing seasons on the garden sun dial.
I hope you enjoyed this photographic journey across the Ozarks winter landscape and look forward to seeing you again next week!
