One week in mid winter

What a week we had! The winter truly came, froze over the garden and by the weekend we are back to spring. I nipped out in the icy morning early in the week

to capture the frozen beauty, but the silver leaved plants did not look that different. I love the deep blue iris reticulata next to the lime green flowers of the mini skimmia. Some more snow drops make their appearance. Today I gave the garden a shave and cut off the long beard like grasses and dried perennials. I enjoy it when the structure of the garden becomes visible without the froth of summer planting. Children are playing in the neighbouring garden and it almost feels if spring is not that far away.
