Martha's Color the Season, a Blog Challenge.

On the Wisconsinland blog, Martha posted a challenge, find some color in this bleak winter season. Well that's pretty tough to do up here in the frozen wonderland of northern Wisconsin. When I look outside all I can see from the house is fluffy white snow, leaf-less gray brown trees, and lots of brown, black or gray wildlife. In the back corner of the yard was a spot of color, a bottle tree that Nancy put up this year.


There was a little color outside the front door...


I kept looking for color but all I found in the yard was a single pink plastic ribbon that marks a dead maple tree that I need to take down some day...


I did find a whole ton of color in the garage... a couple shades of blue and a bright lime green....


Earlier in the day there was a young buck in the yard. He was up raiding the squirrel's food...


Not a lot of color, but I wouldn't want to be any other place in the winter time!
