The Garden in December

"For the gardener, winter is a season in its own right, with enough time to seek out the best, often elusive scents, notice the texture of bark, enjoy shadows cast on the lawn by trees and trelliswork. ~Rosemary Verey...1990

In December, my Silverado Canyon Garden has only a few spots of color.....the glorious sycamore, the red and gold California wild grape, a few white roses here and there, and of course the hardy salvia waverlys that seems to delight and thrive in the weak light and cold days.
