I’ll try blowing a little extra hard to see if I can send some warmth your way. It’s actually just starting to rain for the next 4 days, so maybe I should wait till that ends!
Oh yes. That would be lovely, but yes, please hold on the rain. We have enough wetness already 🙂
Swish, Miss Tish!
I see it was snowing a bit at Anfield, last night.
I suppose I won’t win any friends if I tell you I am sitting in T shirt and shorts with the front door open.
Gorgeous, Tish. ‘Fraid we have too much snow for anything like this and the parks have all been officially closed because of the very, very sub-zero temperatures. Yesterday I didn’t go out at all; today I hit the library and Aldi before relaxing with hot tea and books at home. 🙂
Perhaps we could arrange a flight for Air Force One from Chicago to Melbourne and then maybe their might be some appreciation for the reality of climate change in the extreme!
Not sure that anything – especially reality – penetrates these nay-sayers’ skulls. Too much else on their agendas.
A perfect accompaniment to Adam Gopnik’s “Winter: Five windows on the season”, which I’ve just read a sample of on Kindle.
There is something so appealing about frost rimed leaves and those ivy leaves are wonderful with the shape and the texture. No frost here and only a smattering of sleety snow. Can’t say I’m sad as I don’t want to lose any of my rather tender plants!
It’s been v. cold in Shropshire these last few days, though set to warm up next week. I can’t believe how tenacious some plants are being. The hesperanthus still seems to be going – frosted or not.
oh Tish – that iced Ivy almost seemed like something a craft store would sell for decor.
I looked at it a few times and what a fun thing to capture with your camera. so nice….

And when it is such a pretty frost it make winter worth it
It does have its finer moments, Beverly 🙂
Beautiful, Tish. Love the new header, too; very moody…
Thanks, Mike. Glad you like the header too.
That first shot is absolutely beautiful! In SoCal, I’m not familiar with hoarfrost, so this is very exciting to see! Thank you for sharing it!
We don’t often have hoar frost, and this was a particularly fine example. I wouldn’t mind some of your Californian weather just now though 🙂

Nope. You won’t win friends that way, Ark. Am retaliating with an extra frosty frost ball tossed in your direction. Here it comes…
Hah! It melted in mid-flight!
Hmph!
Your captures are a true tribute to Mother Nature’s beauty.
Thank you, Sally.
Oooh, great images!
Yay! 🙂
😊😊
It is beautiful….keep warm Janet 🙂
Thank you, Janet. Hope you’re keeping warm too.
Ah – it does not get more beautiful, does it!
That’s just what I thought, Ann-Christine 🙂
😊
Magical
🙂
Fabulous patterns and wonderful photography, Tish! 🙂 🙂 Brrrh! On with the balaklava.
It was flipping cold on the fingers taking those photos, Jo. Better today though.
What lovely captures Tish!
Thanks, Arlene.
Stunning photography, Tish.
Many thanks, Pat.
Wonderful photos!

Tea and books and all cosy at home, that sounds ideal Janet. Take care in all that snow and coldness.
What a beautiful perspective, Tish!
Thank you, Dries. It’s all a bit different weather-wise at your end of the world 🙂

Hi Meg. Now that sounds an enticing title, and maybe an antedote to baking temps. in your part of the world?
An ineffective antidote! The best one I know is cooler weather. We weren’t by any means the hottest, although 35° felt like it I must say.
Phew. 35′. That’s hot.
It’s not 45° – for which we were deeply grateful. I have a jacket on now – inconceivable this time last week.
With such pretty photos, winter seems almost welcome
It has its good points as long as you have enough sweaters and woolly socks.
That’s a small price to pay for that beauty
🙂
Beautifully captured. 😀 … we’ve had a couple of frosts like that that, but that’s all Winter has managed to produce, so far. 🙂
Thanks, Widdershins. There’s still time for more wintery stuff though, isn’t there. No casting of clouts for a month or several.
Lovely!

That is one determined flower!

I did think it might make this year’s Christmas card. Then I thought: No, no, no. Far too soon to think of Christmas.
yes – that is funny about the holiday card on the mind – and it might be too soon to think of it formally – but at least start the options folder – ha
I just might 🙂
Wow!
It’s pretty when it comes with a blue sky!
Oh yes!
Wow!! It’s so intricate. ❤️🦋🌀
