  thanks, Marion this is rare and the season of windswept and wet! is not pretty, though it is warmer than white, Frances

Lovely frosty foliage! The up side of a cold night is the beauty that the frostynnight brings. Christina

  thanks, Christina I thought it was a bit chilly when I got up this morning but it wasn’t until light and I looked out that I saw how cold, the insulation in my walls is working well :o)
  another upside I hope is that it will break up some of those clods of earth, Frances

I see you’re making the most of our cold snap – love the contrast and details – all beautifully edged Frances -

  thanks Laura, yes we do not get white often here, the wind has long ago blown away any interesting seedheads, Frances

I love the way frost outlines leaves and plants. Like an artist with a white marker pen

Love that third photo with the pretty purple leaves encased in frosty silver.

  thanks Marguerite, that is a really beautiful foliage hebe which had all the top growth killed off in storms a few years ago, I cut it back and left the root in the hope it might regrow, it has very slowly, I took some cuttings last year but they did not take I will try some more this year, we are back to rain today!

Wonderful how frost transforms foliage isn’t it – like Helen said, painterly.

  yes Janet a white covering looks beautiful while the current rain just looks wet! Frances
