But last night (and this morning) we got snow. I should probably make it clear, in case I haven't made it clear enough in the past -- I really really hate snow. No, I mean really. I hate driving in it, and I hate walking in it. I know there is a broken hip just waiting for me in the future. But I figured it would add a little something new to the pictures, and lately I can't resist taking pictures.
As I headed out to take these, Nigel called out "Don't fall on yer arse!" I was so touched.

 |
| Native sword fern |

 |
| Yucca 'Bright Star' not burning very bright at the moment |
 |
| Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' |

| Technically bare branches don't count as foliage |
 |

| I actually considered doing a Foliage Follow-up post with nothing but pictures of moss, since it's so ubiquitous out there. |
Foliage Follow-up is hosted by Pam Penick who writes the blog Digging. There will be lots more links to posts of foliage at the link.
