It is that cold and brittle time of year. The landscape is barren and yellow. Needing to clear my head, I grabbed my camera and escaped my desk for about a half hour. Aside from the pine trees, there is very little green to be seen.  Usually we get some snow to break up the monotony of the landscape but this winter has been as dry as a bone.   Still I was able to snap a few interesting pictures today, and this dried flower caught my eye. It is beautiful in its own way.
