Tiny Tuesday . . . Solstice

I saved this skeleton leaf to be a blip and today is the day.  I put it on a mirror and I did dust it but the sun showed more dust.  I also liked it in mono better than colour.   I thought it stood for how winter is a time for so many plants to rest.  I don't think my garden ever really rests completely because we are a temperate climate at sea level.  The spring bulbs are poking through and the Daphne is starting to flower.  There was a good frost this morning but weirdly it didn't settle on the grass.  I could see it clearly on roofs and the truck tonneau cover.  The sun has been out all day which is wonderful.

Urge For Going     Joni Mitchell
  
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And all trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown . . .
