Russet Weed Covered with Snow

[best appreciated at full size against black]

We haven't gotten much snow this year, but in January it snowed during the night and stayed on the ground long enough for me to wander around taking pictures. This is one of my favorite weeds because the seeds are very beautiful close up (please see the first comment for a close up). I think it's even prettier with a snowy hat, don't you agree? :)
