Under the snow weight, a dry thistle is staying bent, breaking the monotony of the white that covers the pasture. It’s winter, and all other creatures and seeds are sleeping under the blanket of water crystals. But, with the spring arrival, the young plants will arise and grow taller, and the old thistle will vanish from the landscape, forever.
