Sometimes we have all the weather at the same time and this is what you end up with when the sun comes out the next day. 
Spot the rabbit?
Best wishes for 2019! ❄️

Frost Nouveau
Finding beauty in the cold. I bundled up and took my camera out for a walk but the fresh window frost seemed to hold the most intrigue. It is lovely too, along the river’s edge where the water moves so fast that the cold can’t hold it still. It seems like a good time to make soup!

Frost and Traces
Traces of this morning’s delicate frost fading on the window as the day starts to warm (above) and the frost before it starts to fade away.
I have made several hundred photographs of frost on this window over the years, some of which are posted here , but I hadn’t really noticed the traces that are left behind as it disappears.

After the (Freezing) Rain
An ice crowned seed head from my garden.
Tiny icicles on the brink of melting away.
Mosaic patterns forming on the flora as the ice crowns begin to surrender to the warmth of the sun.
How quickly we can shift here from powdered snow, to rain, to freezing rain and back again.

Things To Love About February (2)
Tiny intricate details on a frosted window – it’s very cold at the moment!

Ligularia
Pink-fluff seed heads of a ligularia plant in my garden. When the plant is in flower the petals are a bright yellow, but it’s these delicate rosy seed heads of autumn that truly catch my eye.

Seed Pearls
[Another Winter Garden with fresh growth from the self-seeding frost on the cold window ~ the glow of the frozen water drops made me think of seed pearls.]
