The "best of" the winter landscape in our creekside back yard. As the time comes to take down all the Christmas decorations and lights I always start to get the winter blahs- missing so much of the color and foliage in our landscape. Then, just for a day, Mother Nature treats us to this beautiful display of winter wonderland. My husband, being a great photographer captured this image to remind us that sometimes the winter landscape is anything but blah.
