Winter remembered

     I say "remembered" because virtually all the 22 inches of December snow has melted, as Seattle-Portland weather has settled in.  Yuck!

     The first two photos are of a wooden structure I built last summer (shown in an earlier post).  I was inspired to build it after visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesen in Spring Green, Wisconsin.

     The next photo is of a granite cobblestone planter built in the 1980s.  Following are snow-covered black kettle pots for my begonias next to a Stephanandra planting.  The next photo is not a white cake, but a buried bird bath.

     There are two photos are of an 8-inch container of moss with a face on one side.  The leaves are of a Viburnum tomentosum var. plicatum.
