Here are some pictures I took with an old digital camera of some of the plants in our yard. I mainly took these so I could catalog and remember what and where these things were, since I'm definitely a novice gardener. It also serves as a reminder throughout the winter that someday, my world will be full of warmth and color again.

Someday I'll rearrange it to be more modem-friendly.
