I am hoping that the old season of Winter has passed and that Spring is here to stay. Today, I cleared out the dried plant stalks out of the flower beds. I left these plant stalks mainly to provide cover for the birds in the winter. The birds did seem to like the shelter of the plant stalks. I liked the plant stalks because they provided countless photo opportunities. It was difficult to say farewell to the plant stalks today, but the flower beds look much better and even look springlike without the old plant stalks.
Macro 4 continues. I decided to move away from my macro bucket list for the next three days. In the last days of March, I hope to capture the transition into Spring. Then, I hope to do a month of abstracts in April.
I never clean up my garden before early spring. Those old seasons passes are also good for covering the soil and for shelter for insects the birds love ( if they can find ans catch them.) Great capture , pov . and a beautiful lighting of this nice pic.
@pyrrhula Thank you for your comments. I did notice some insects when we cleared the plant stalks away. Hopefully, I was able to save some insects. Lots of the insects died due to the harsh winter conditions.
