Morning Frost


As November is coming to an end, winter is starting to claim the garden. This morning, on this first Sunday of Advent, our garden was covered in heavy frost. The sun illuminating the ice crystals, bringing them to brilliant life.
While pruning my Flutterbye Rose a week or so ago, I inadvertently cut a bud. I tucked it into my little fountain. She's been sitting there unchanged for days and days now. But this morning frost coated her heavily and froze the water beneath her. The Hawthorne tree, with most leaves long gone was rimmed in frost as well, with the sun melting some of it, adding glittering dew drops.
Though it was very brisk, a wonderful morning to walk through the garden enjoying the wintery scene.
