Dried....

....flower. I don't know what kind of flower it was before it dried up, but we were walking at the park this morning and the shapes of this just caught my eye---the background is the walkway. I'll have to come back in the spring when it starts to bloom so I can see what it is. There was still lots of ice around the rocks surrounding the water which is only to be expected since we're still below freezing with our temperatures. My brother-in-law & nephews went to their cottage in Northern Wi. for the weekend to do some snowmobiling, and they sent a picture--there's still a couple of feet of snow on the ground--great for snowmobiling, but I'm glad it's there and not here! :))
