Garden in Winter

A couple weeks ago, I took pictures as I was leaving the grounds 

of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I returned Wednesday,

making certain I visited the grounds first because, oddly, I found

the gardens, dormant in the middle of  this Midwestern

winter, to be full of curious beauties.

I don't know what they were -- hosta? -- but these

blue-gray leaves, lying among the sienna-colored pine needles,

created a striking arrangement in a garden bed

just outside the museum's restaurant.
