The withered buddleia bush presents a stark silhouette against a background of snow.
Winter Withered Buddleia Bush
I hadn’t noticed the delicate, twisted shapes of the buddleia bush outside my window when the background was the grass of the backyard. After the snowfall, the grass hid beneath a thin blanket of snow, turning the background from a middle value neutralized green into a light value, white backdrop for the dark value, dried blossoms and withered leaves.

This bush needs to be trimmed back before March!
The rain is washing away our bit of snow today…
