Frosty Morning - Plants

Wednesday morning the low temperature was a frosty 20F and Thursday morning we had a low of 24F.

The Ali-Baba fountain was coated with ice, but still burbling along.

In fact everything was rimed with frost.

It made for a pretty morning...

Almost as pretty as a snowfall.

Last year's weeds had a structural clarity when outlined with frost.

As did the blackberry canes...

...and Hazel brush...

...and willows.

As the sun rose slowly in the sky, the frost-covered grass began to sparkle.
A lovely, if brisk start to a new day.

  1. I love when we get an air frost that coats the trees and shrubs, it looks wonderful. The fountain looks really strange with the ice formed on it.

  3. Sometimes a heavy frost creates such a beautiful wonderland. As much as I dislike winter, I find looking at frost covered trees simply wonderful.

  4. I miss heavy frost! We haven't had one yet this year, the temps have barely gone below 50. I shouldn't complain, but I do miss the magical new feeling that frost and snow brings.

  6. Great pictures here! Only frost I see is on my car windows--inside and outside! Apparently have a leak on the right front and it frosts INSIDE! Joy! Hugs!
