Last night's freezing fog left a white hoar-frost all over our garden. Couldn't resist capturing some close-up photos of the crystals on some of the plants.

First, frost crystals on the leaves of a Kerria japonica in a shady part of the garden.

and the Cotoneaster ourside our garage:

Well spotted, nicely done.

All together now... "In the bleak midwinter...".

Lovely spikey ones!

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
