There’s little question that the dominant element in our present landscape is snow. It hasn’t been that way for several years and it does have some appeal. Yet, on my walk around Peters Hill this morning, as the landscape lays under a somewhat pristine coating of snow, I felt a small yearning for some color, something other than the omni-present white or its cousin, gray.

This shot is from last March. It’s roots of a Dawn Redwood. And there is at least a bit of color. Modest color, but color nonetheless. Just a bit of yellow, even less orange. But it’s enough to distract my eye from the ongoing white of today.

I’ve heard it will warm a bit in the next few days. Maybe that will shift our landscape, in an out of the ARboretum. I’m ready.
