January 8: Goldenrod glow

[neverspent]

The goldenrod stands through the winter, as tall as me, with the flower heads turned white and fluffy. They light up and glow when the sun gets low in the evening. I get distracted by all the new flowers in the spring, and I've never noticed what happens to the old goldenrod, when the seeds actually disperse and the old stalks disappear. I'll have to pay more attention this year.
