This scraggly bush sits outside my gate to to patio. In the spring and summer, it is alive and green. Then winter comes to New Mexico, then this bush turns into sticks. Sticks. It gets brown and looks like it's dead. All winter, the sticks had their dried up red buds on them. The branches were old dried sticks.
Last week it was warm. All the buds started coming out - of course, then it snowed last night.
Today, I go outside to photograph some more clouds - and bam - there are green leaves on that old bush - unbelievable. All the plants here in New Mexico have to fight for their lives with the wind, blowing dust, no water and being at 5000+ feet. You gotta give them kudos for just being here.

I love the idea of a picture a day for a year. I am doing that but in a very unstructured format. Can't wait to see more of your pictures.
