| Bunny tail grass in Winter |
Winter is a wonderful time to really appreciate the shape and form of the plants in your garden. As the frost coats the landscape in a crystal sheen, the texture of the garden outshines the colours. While the flame framework of dogwoods and fiery foliage of heavenly bamboo put on quite a show, the remainder of the garden mellows. Corkscrew Witch Hazel, spiraled Euphorbia, and radial pine trees can be fully appreciated when encrusted with frost. Seeds, nuts and berries accessorize many plants. Over the last month, the course has been closed for several frost delays. It's an excellent time for zealous members to keep there pyjamas on a peruse their favourite edition of Golf Digest at home.

Personally I really appreciate these days at the course for studying the framework and architecture of the gardens and mentally editing areas for future improvements. It is an austere and elegant season. The golf course is very still and silent and a perfect time for contemplation. The morning sky is stained pink and the air is filled with the sound of rattling seed pods and geese over head. It's pretty magical. I've been taking the time to take some snap shots of the garden in all it's Wintry glory so everyone can peruse them from home. I hope you enjoy it!
