At the risk of tempting fate, I’ll utter it out loud, “This hasn’t been much of a winter so far”!  Despite a forecast to the contrary, we’ve been missed by the snow (again), as temps remain mild. So here are several pics snapped while taking our “Girls” out for a loop thru the garden.

Cornus florida ‘Red Pygmy’ along the North side of the garage.

Abies concolor, on the path towards the SW corner of the property.

Having already walked the length of the West fence line (nothing worthy photo-wise there), and turned the NW corner heading East as we exit the windbreak of Norway Spruce and White Pine planted there, with Gema leading the way.

Fagus sylvatica ‘Horizontalis’ at the NW area of the pond.

I snapped this pic just to see how much detail would come out (looking SE); pond behind and to the right.

Pinus contorta ‘Chief Joseph’ in front of the house.

Clematis verticillata in seed on the arbor.

A  trio of some of my most favored conifers, Abies concolor ‘Blue Sapphire’, Abies concolor ‘Chief Joseph’ and Juniperus formosana, lower left, center, and upper left respectively.
