We've had very little snow this winter, but the other morning it was piled high on even tiny branches. I shot this one from below one of the branches.

I received this amaryllis as a gift from the Virginia Thurston Healing Garden in Harvard. For two months, it sat on my window sill sucking up water and doing little. Then it burst into bloom. This is how it looked the day the blooming began.
