S for Seeds

It's getting very cold here in Omaha! Almost all of the trees have lost their leaves and the view is usually gray or brown. 

Just today I went to the store and people were already talking about slippery roads.

This is my second year in this city, so I knew this was coming. 

And in anticipation of it I have been keeping my creative mode wide open. 

So yesterday I went across the street from my apartment to take pictures of what's left from the asters, coreopsis, cone-flowers and other plants that the city planted on a corner of a parking-lot.

In this same place I took some very colorful pictures some weeks ago when the monarch 

butterflies passed through this area on their way to Mexico. 

You can check it out those colorful pictures here. 

Reminder to myself: Yes Leticia, there is beauty in the brown and gray winter.
