Very pretty! Our yard looks dead with weeds. :(
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful Leigh! A great look around your homestead too. Lots of diversity there. I bet the back of the shed area won't be goatless for too long....I was pretty annoyed at my wee flock, I would have sent them over
in a nanosecond. ;-)
You did really find a lot of red and green outdoors.
We're having a really cold snap, so it's great to see somewhere that looks warmer and snowless! (Although I've heard rumors - or do they call them forecasts? - of a southern snowstorm this week.)
Thanks for sharing your colors!
Sue
Lovely pictures, Leigh! And much more colour than we have at the moment: since yesterday all is (very!) white here.
Aw Renee, even weeds have color! It's just a matter or whether or not you like those colors. :)
Thanks Theresa. Hmm, would I want naughty goats????? ;)
Sue, that southern snowstorm is predicted for today and tomorrow! With highs in the low 40s though, it won't last.
Annie, I think my December colors are not the "norm," but then, that's what makes Sue's challenge interesting, montly colors are different around the world!
Beautiful pictures! I felt like i was right there in the woods!
Thank you so much for sharing those, Leigh. I miss woods like that - and when I saw them I thought "Catzee's Garden".
I heard snow is headed your direction. Wanna borrow a shovel or two? ;)
Your colors are so vibrant for December. I haven't taken mine yet - it's going to involve some work to not post snow.
Lynn, I was amazed at how much red and green I found. I've always thought of those as traditional December colors, but not in the natural sense. So this was an interesting exercise.
Kathy, aw, "Catzee's Garden". That's what it was. Last week I dreamed I was at a motel and I opened the door and she came running in. It was so vivid, *sigh. The snow missed us though, and we're just a couple of degrees about freezing so no ice!
Sharon, well white is a color of December too! I'll be looking forward to seeing yours.
When can I come to visit?
It looks so lovely!
Thanks for sharing your colour with us.
Nice to see the colors are still there if you look for them! I like the bamboo with berries.....very pretty!
Leigh, lovely pictures! And it looks so much warmer than it is over here at the moment but that can be deceptive. It is about -8C but it felt much colder on the bike this afternoon.
Your pictures are so pretty! Your December looks like yes our October!
Merry Christmas!
You live in a beautiful place with many lovely colors. I like the woodpecker!
