Budding Saturday: Chinese Lanterns

Saturday’s I reserve this blog space to feature Newfoundland art and Newfoundland beauty. So far, that has meant photography from our good friend Bud Vincent, and I’m more than happy to do so since his work is so brilliant. But if you’re an artist or know one – drop us a line so we can feature you here, too!

Bud tells me that these are Chinese Lanterns. He was surprised to see them shining through all the snow. He spoke to the owner of the property they were on, and learned that they’re actually an extremely hearty plant, and that no matter what happens them over the winter through drifts and drifts of snow, they come back better and better each year. How’s that for a metaphor?
