I'm starting to feel that I've shared my silver
Mahoniaconfusa way too many times, but here it is again, getting its own feature. It might be that I have it planted where I can see it from my desk while I work, so it catches my eye frequently. I wasn't planning to venture out into the cold at all yesterday, but a glance outside showed the partially snow-covered mahonia glowing in the low winter sun. I had to go out to photograph it.
Like coals burning under a layer of pale ash, the winter color of the mahonia glowed in the sunlight.
Of course, since I was already out in the snow, I snapped a few more photos.

| The random late bloom on 'Goldsturm' could also be a self-portrait of me in this cold weather. |
Ok, the snow is pretty. Now it can go away, and take this Arctic air with it. Thanks to Anna at
