I’ve gone out into the garden a few times this week to take photos. Not because there’s anything going on out there – the cold spell we had a few weeks ago took care of most of the remaining flowers and leaves – but as a creative exercise to see if I can find anything beautiful hidden in the weeds and dead stems and seedheads. I’ve been surprised at my success.

Gorgeous! The shallow depth of field really makes this magical. I’ve been meaning to get out in my gardens to ‘shoot the dead,’ but haven’t been feeling well lately. I’m glad to know that someone else finds beauty in the end of the life cycle.
Absolutely! I’ve always found dead leaves and flowers and bare branches to be beautiful, but I’m never sure if other people will share my opinion.
