Greetings! We had 18” of snow last week in our part of the Hudson Valley. Between rain and a couple of warm days the last vestiges of the snow disappeared on Christmas morning. I was surprised to look out in the back yard and see our Christmas Rose Hellebore in bloom. I could not help but feel a comparison to this past year. The beauty and resilience of the hellebore revealing itself just hours after being unburdened by a heavy, cold weight gave me hope for the New Year! Nature will often show us the way if we are open to the experience. Best wishes to everyone in 2021!

Yes, thank you, Doug for this visual promise of a better day!
Love Hellebores and your positive New Year message. I wish the same for all my new botanical drawing friends. Wendy Marris
Beautiful, Doug. Great advice to let nature lead us through the next year. 🙂
