Listening to the mix of sleet and rain and snow coming down, I turn away from the ping and drip to look in the eyes of these splashy anemones. On a recent wintry day, a friend and I visited the light-filled greenhouses of Battenfeld's Anemone Farm in Red Hook, New York. It's a great place to go with a camera, in search of color and light. (What were Goethe's legendary last words? Supposedly "More light!" Is that true? Even if not, they're perfect words.) While at Battenfeld's, you can pick up a small bouquet of hybrid anemones at an extremely reasonable price, leaving your money at their self-serve station.Click on image to enlarge.

Splendid!!
Leave it to you to bring me this burst of color when I feel as if I'm living inside of a snow globe.
Snow globe it is! What a beautiful, snowy landscape out there today. I'll post a close-up of an anemone soon, after I post today's wintry photo.
Thanks Christine for the breath
of lovely fresh air. The colors
are so joyous!
Thanks for visiting, Cynthia. Yes, those vivid blossoms just wake you up!
