The Subtlety of Winter

On the way down the street to photograph the frozen landscape at the water, I passed by this garden in the front yard of a neighbor.  I have tried to photograph these grasses before, but the picture never quite worked, for some reason.  Maybe there wasn't enough snow, or too much snow.  I can't remember.  But I love how it looked on this day.  There is something about the subtle color of the grasses that made me feel good.  It brightened up a cold and gray day.
