The Colors of Winter-Work in Progress

I have discovered a new love this year.  The look, feel, and colors of dried, dead plants waiting to be reborn in the spring.  My sister, Katie and I visited the lake this past Tuesday during the snow storm.  The colors of these wintered plants stood out amongst the white, fluffy snow.

Milkweed

I see a lot of milkweed art in my future.
