Is this what they mean by winter interest?

That's a lot of snow, considering I haven't seen any on Buffalo yet. But lovely. I am not a big fan of winter interest, though. I kind of ignore the garden in the winter.
You have a winter landscape though, and that's different.
Very lovely. But shocking and kind of disturbing that it changes so fast. Yikes.
I'm giving the frozen apples and blue sky picture a gold star.
I think you are on the right track. Not only is this interesting, it is beautiful.
Great photography - I especially like the "road spikes" photo. You should print that. It looks like winter has arrived there.
Gosh! Is is that cold there already? I really don't have a winter here in comparison with these pictures. Beautiful pictures by the way.
Will it still be lovely after 4 months of it?
Eal, I have more snow than Buffalo and Fenton Michigan I heard last night.
Chuck, it was a whole new world when I woke up. The apples caught my eye too.
Lisa it is pretty and tolerable when the wind ain't blowin'.
Thanks Phillip. I think the road spikes are a sedge or a grass in the center of the gravel drive.
Gintoino, apparently I am colder and have more snow than Buffalo New York and Fenton Michigan, both way further north than me. I also have way more snow than down in the valleys. I went to town today and there was no snow on the ground before I got to the bottom of my mountain. I live on a snowy peak.
Come on Les. Just three months. the daffodils will be up in February.
I vote for the blue sky & frozen apples too. Ramp seed heads as in Ramps that you eat?
Yes Lola those kind Ramp, the super potent, spring elixir, Allium triccocum. I have been gathering seeds and spreading them out to increase the number of patches we have.
Christopher,
I tried to find a link to email you, but couldn't seem to find one anywhere on your blog.
On Rant you commented: Now if I can just set up a small greenhouse for cuttings and seed starting, that generous flow could turn into a torrent.
and it got me wondering if you'd ever heard of something called Wintersowing?
I think it is something that would work out for you perfectly! And give you more plants than you could ever pass along - for pennies.
:)
Hi Christopher! What gorgeous photographs! Winter interest indeed.
