Our first January thaw, followed by a day of rain, revealed this beauty in granny’s garden.
This flowering kale had been buried in snow. It grows in a protected spot near the basement wall, where it sheltered from most winds.
It is so good to see these brilliant colors among the white and brown that seem to characterize our winters. It was snowing when I took this shot, and yes, that is snow on those lovely leaves.
I particularly like the textures of snow and kale in this closeup shot. It also makes me glad to be sitting back in this warm office.
WOW! The color is beautiful! How it stands out from the grays and browns…and white. What a nice find!
It was very hard to miss that. Those colors are exactly what the camera saw. I only resized the pic–no tampering with other parameters.
A gem, a promise of a better day,
An uplifting picture, an ornamental Kale.
All these beautiful words from Alices.
Alices are correct.
I never dreamed that Kale would change to those beautiful colors !! All I know is that my eye specialist always reminds me to eat lots of Kale and other green , leafy vegetables !! Thanks for the uplifting picture !!
Kale comes in different varieties. This one is more colorful than most.
I love these ornamental Kale! Thanks for s spot of color!
Me too. Just returning the favor.
A lovely reminder that beneath the gloom and ice a promise of a brighter day! Great pictures.
That’s the way it made me feel. Thanks.
A gem!
