Frosty "Fotos"

Before we lost all our our autumn leaves, we woke up one morning to a very heavy frost.

I quickly grabbed my shoes, camera and jacket when I woke up to see the photo opportunity and went out in the yard, crunching all over on the hard frost to take pictures of it.

Enjoy!

Frost was all over on every leaf...like this!:

I loved the texture it gave all the vegetation!

All the grasses in the yard were covered with "sugar":

Even the weeds were coated with pretty white crystals:

Like snowflakes, all the crystals looked unique:

And the tangled Goat's Beard stalks were covered with frost too:

Every plant looked marvelous:

Looks like crystal warts!:

And before I got done, in just about 30 minutes...the frost began to melt:








The sun still revealed the edges of the leaves still had frost trim on it:

But the leaves close to the ground still had thick crystals clinging to them:

Including these little berries. I loved how the crystals hung on to them:

But in the time I took about 25 pictures, the sun was high and the crystals were all melted off the plants.

Dang.

I gotta learn to get up a little earlier, don't I???
