Who could have guessed a month ago that this plant was still alive. Quietly it stood, waiting for just the right moment to let new growth shine. Which made me think, what incredible drama and action lies just below the surface, in the unseen... like the suspense of leaves kept hidden inside a bud...
... the fearless efforts of a rose bush against the harsh winter weather...
... or the incredible interconnected relationship and root system of the Aspen trees, functioning as one giant organism.
Sometimes it really is what you don't see that tells the real story.
