Again, I set out to find new wildflowers, to no avail. The catkins on a couple of trees are nearly in bloom, but not yet. It is still the time of year when henbit and bluet hold sway. So I found some more red and brown leaves, instead. I sat down at the side of the road to photograph a couple of greenbrier leaves; midway through, I looked through the viewfinder toward the space just in front of me, and became entranced by long, thin blades of dry grass, making twirling forms in the breeze. Not exactly springlike, but still beautiful.
Tomorrow I will go in search of last autumn’s leaves. Maybe that way I will find a new flower in bloom along Piney Woods Church Road.
