Sage!

My sage plants are still hanging on through all the miserable hot and cold and grey days, they just keep sitting there and living. There’s probably a lesson in there for all of us. Just keep living.

Oh - lots of great textures here! Your focus and exposure is very nice as well.
Well done!

Super for the textures element of the challenge Lou Ann , Alas my sage in the garden looks the worse for wear but I am sure it will perk up come Spring !!

I love how it being in B&W brings out the textures.

Super textures here - love your DOF! I love your observation Lou Ann - I wonder where or why they named Sage sage? I think you're on to something!

[Lou Ann]

@elatedpixie your question made me really think about the word - as in a sage person, so yes, there is much more to that word!

These are both great links for this discussion. As it turns out sage is indeed all about living! Thank you for making me think, I need to do that a lot more!

@farmreporter @beryl @radiogirl @ludwigsdiana @joansmor @mittens @carolmw @happypat @domenicododaro @pistache @sugarmuser Thank you! I actually hadn’t even thought about this planting until I was out looking for textures in the backyard. Don’t you just love 365?!
