BRRRRRRRRRRR

I must have looked a site this morning, out in the freezing cold, with my camera and mini tripod taking pics of the grass!!!! Wonder what the neighbours thought!!!

You guessed it, we had another really heavy frost again last night. Everything was covered, the roof tops, the clothes line, even the letter box. Craig sat a plastic cup of water out last night and it was frozen solid this morning!

Here are a couple more shots from today - promise this is all Ill put up LOL I just have this fascination with the sheer beauty of the ice crystals. They are all so different, so fragile, yet so temporary. The first is the frost on a blade of grass, the second is a wheel of a tonka truck in the sand pit, and the third a leaf. You have to wonder how plants manage to survive this battering night after night!



At least Im getting some practice using the macro settings on my camera.

Nic, PLEASE don't stop showing these! I am loving them. Your photography is fantastic, such a talented lil thing you are! You know I am a photo freak, but I never get photos of anything other than people. I love seeing these. And believe me, my neighbours have seen plenty of strange sights too LOL.

Please, please, show more!!

Brrrr indeed. I feel cold just looking at these photos. Did you run back inside to your nice warm fire once you were finished? You must have been frozen!

We couldn't get over the frost everywhere that morning! even our camper trailer which was undercover had ice all down the side. Everything was just covered and it was still ice even after 9am and the sun had been out a couple of hours! Your shots are just splendid!
