Frosty Mornings

It's been a mild Autumn so far, with our temperature  this month fluctuating but mostly staying in the 40's (fahrenheit). Some frost as well and one morning I went out to capture a few frosty photos. There's something magical about cold, frosty mornings. I'm also looking forward to snow - December always seems like our month for a bit of snow.

Above & Below: Frost covered geranium (perennial).

I love the frost covered Sedum Autumn Joy.

  1. Brrrr! We just have wet, wet, wet. The Sedum flowers covered in frost look like heads of broccoli!

  2. We haven't had as much frost as you yet but it's early days. Snow is pretty to photograph although I think frost especially hoar frost is more magical.

  3. We've had a frost here this morning, one of the first of the year here. It's been so mild compared to the last couple of years.

  4. Our frost in the states hasn't been that heavy yet! It sure is pretty though.

  5. Pretty frosty photos. Even the brown leaves look pretty be-jeweled in ice crystals.

  6. We've not had much frost yet, but I'm sure it will come soon, when the rain has finished that is.

  8. I admit it Kelli, there's something so beautiful about the frost crystals in the garden. But I struggle to get out there to see them! It's just too, too cold when I've only just gotten out of bed!
