Even while a garden is sleeping, it has joy to share, even though you might have to look a little harder to find it. Back in December, we asked our website visitors to show us the best of their winter gardens in our Garden in Winter photo contest. Since then we've received dozens of gorgeous photos. This week we're featuring the best of the best, leading up to the overall winning photo on Friday. We know you're winter-weary. Travel along with us this week while we remind ourselves that winter can be a beautiful time in our gardens.

Today's photo, our 4th runner-up, is from finegardening.com member PineTwp, who sent in several photos and says, "Photography is a way of remembering all the beauty of the outdoors and saving it." Be sure to check out the rest of PineTwp's photos here, and stay tuned for the 3rd runner-up in tomorrow's post!

Welcome to the Fine Gardening GARDEN PHOTO OF THE DAY blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you'll always remember to take a look, or subscribe to our RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

READER PHOTOS: We love featuring your photos, too. If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images if possible. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.
