Forsythia blooms in the winter light

Forsythia blooms gleeful, bright
in the waning rays of winter light
like spring come silently, overnight

Check out other Winter Light photos at Gardening Gone Wild. There are some cool shots.

    That is an amazing photo. Lucky you to have some forsythia to look at, frozen or not. Really great shot. You should come back to my site and put this or a different photo into the signs of spring random drawing for $200 at Garden Shoes Online. I need to get this contest going and everyone seems a bit shy. It’s really a great give away. Thanks for dropping by, I wil be back to see more of your photos as spring really does emerge.

      Thanks for letting me know about your contest. I’ll check it out. Folks were shy with the Winter Light contest, too. I think everyone is still huddled in front of the fireplace with a good book (or reality TV show).

    Fortunate you are, and what a great photo. I wish the usually players in my February garden would get out of bed. Thanks for visiting my site.

    Oh, this is just GORGEOUS! The juxtaposition of snow on a latewinter/early spring flower is awesome. I’d hang this on my wall, personally. I hope you have done so. It’s one to be very proud of.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. We were just visiting Seattle last weekend & the forsythias were starting to bloom everywhere. I just love your photo.

    Beautiful photo Kelly. A perfect little bouquet that we miss seeing when we only glance at the whole forsythia bush. Thank you!

    Oh, this is lovely. I never thought I would miss forsythia, so. Beautiful shot.
