I'm always thrilled at the persistence of Nature and how it takes advantage of the slanting sun to produce a blossom in the freezing cold of Winter. I've scraped ice off my windshield for the last 3 days and this Silver-leaved Grass flower found a way to use to utilize the Sun's warm and the rain drenched December soil to produce a flower. I don't think the plant gives a damn whether there are any pollinators around to spread it's seed or maybe this was the seed it was meant to spread. It sure added a little color to the bleak Winter landscape and the joy of being all you can be regardless of the outcome. Add this to the Wild Mustards, Dandelions, Henbits, Veronicas and Sow Thistles, this makes for a great welcome to the newly arisen Sun.
My run was great at 57:43 at 9:37 per mile.
