6. ok, anyways our assignment this day was to find and photograph juxtaposition. i wish i had spent more time on this prompt, but it has just been a crazy time this past week, and it just didn't happen as i wish.  i tried to be mindful this past week to notice juxtaposition. it didn't happen. one day my husband made a comment how the chocolate mint that we grow in our flower bed was dead all the way down until you get to the base that is buried in the snow. there you can see a few very green leaves, still holding on to life.  perhaps the snow acts as a barrier, protecting it from the hard freeze outside of the snow. and freeze it has.  wrap your brain around that. frozen water, acting as a barrier to protect a plant from the freezing cold air. i knew then i had found my juxtaposition.
