Inspired by Laura's wintry browns on her blog ........ HERE . I decide to look around my garden,in hidden corners,under trees and bushes. After three months of almost daily rain, at first glance the decaying vegetation appears to be grey and soggy, but on closer inspection, an array of shades appear. |

Hello, lovely collection of images. The birch bark looks like a artsy image. I like the pretty blackbird too.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
Great collection you have there..so many too choose from!!...:_JP
Your macro photos are absolutely gorgeous! You inspired me to go out today and photograph with my lensbaby that has macro capabilities! Thanks so much for visiting my blog, too!
Beautiful collection of aspects and details! Nature is so captivating!!
wonderfully inspired...
Greetings in february!
Great nature photos!Thank you for sharing with us in Our Beautiful World. AriadnefromGreece!
Lovely photos, all. I particularly like the dry and crumpled leaves and the one with the first crocuses. No matter how well we rake in November, there are still piles of dry leaves covering the emerging blooms. Time to get out with the rake again!
Very nice group of pictures.
Magnificent feast of images of nature! Thanks for visiting!
I really like the range of tones and textures in these shots.

What beautiful photos! they almost look like tapestries with their lovely interwoven shades of browns and greys. The birch bark is my favorite....I'm absolutely fascinated with the many patterns and colors to be found on tree bark. So nice to find someone else who appreciates it as well :)
Such wonderful photos! You have shown that fallen leaves and dry stems look gorgeous when skilfully captured. It's lovely to hear the blackbird singing, their song is heavenly. Pretty crocuses!
Have a lovely week ahead!
Wonderful photos, the the color combinations are great.
I love this compilation !

Marvelous macros around your garden and how delightful to see the first crocus even from my part of the world. Beautiful!
I see Spring has almost arrived your way! Fabulous photos! We are still covered with snow. The deer here enjoy eating dried leaves they find under pine trees--I guess winter is slim pickings for them.
All wonderful macro shots of nature's beauty even in the Winter ~ thanks ~
All I can see right now is White! Snowing and more snow ~ We made it through January and then February let loose with Snow!
Wishing you a Happy Week ^_^
When you see the crocuses pushing through, spring isn't far off. I get so excited when I see bits of green in my garden after the snow melts.
Shades of brown beautifully captured.
How very calming and lovely!
Hi,Ruby,
Beautiful brown carpet! It is jolly to walk around the brown leaves,looking for a small sign of spring!
Have a good day.
Hi! I like the first and last photos very much. I looks the spring is just around the corner in your neighborhood. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful photos!! Thanks so much for sharing them with us at OBW!!
your world is more beautiful then mine right now. So many shades of brown and similar colors. Amazing!

wonderful browns
as well as details, texture, shapes
i enjoyed every image
thank you
Lovely photos! I love the birch bark and the crocuses.
Love all the subtle colourings you have found in these bits of last year's garden. We do tend to overlook the spent plants at this time of year when our eyes want to focus only on new spring growth! (well, there maybe, here we have a few months to go for that!)

How so beautiful the shades of brown! In winter, I prefer focus on details to focus on wider-views so that I can find attractive colors and patterns and small signs of spring like you. How is the weather now about one week after this posting? In my place, back then was like early spring but now in the middle of winter. I hope the early bloomed flowers survive in this turbulent weather change. Be happy and healthy, Ruby.

such a wonderful collection of nature's textures.
You have made the browns beautiful Ruby -- but that last picture completely steals my heart. We never see crocus any more because early spring flowers (the typical ones like crocus, hyacinth, pussy willow, daffodiils...) don't grow here in Florida. Winters are too hot. That's the downside I guess of not having winter -- we also don't get early spring.
Anyway, thank you so much for showing the beautiful part of late winter/early spring. I enjoyed this post very much!!
It is a great inspiration and I really like the photos of the corners of your garden. A hug Ruby !
This has cheered me up Ruby! A lovely way of looking at the 'dead', 'grey' soggy garden, like changing the filters on my eyes! Thank you x
