Ecological Day: Pieris Japonica/Valley Rose

April 1, 2010 | Filed Under Ecological Day, Nature in NYC, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Pieris Japonica/Valley Rose, Plants 

I took a photo of this Pieris Japonica/Valley Rose in February.  I was suprised to see this unique-looking plant alive and well, despite the snow around it.  Nature is marvelous!  We only have one earth, folks.  So, let’s be good to it.

 

This is my contribution to Ecological Day, a monthly photo blogging theme event, started by Sonia of LEAVES OF GRASS.   It falls on the second day of every month.

    Hi Paz!
    I love the shadows of the rose on the leaves, and the places where we see the pink of the plant reflected on the beautiful green of the leaves. As usual, a great shot and story to accompany it. :-)
