Eliza Waters 
Oh I can feel the frigid, dry, cold. Lovely~
Thank you, Cindy!
Yes it does look crisp and very still!
Frosty moments caught in time! ๐
Brrrrrrr! I love this Eliza ๐
Thank you. Yes, a bit chilly!
Beautiful Eliza! Frost drapes a lacey net across everything doesn’t It? I find it mesmerizing. Blessings, Sarah
Thank you, Sarah. I think it is especially beautiful because it is so fleeting. ๐
Beautiful, and ominous at the same time.
Thank you, yes, winter is coming. Though I read that El Nino might give us a mild winter and keep the Polar Vortex up in Canada. I’m all for that – we could use a break!
This is such a beautiful photo Eliza! It looks like a frost fairy painted the edges of the leaves. Love it!
Thank you so much, Stephanie. Yes, the fairies are extra busy these frosty nights! ๐
Excellent photo of the season. ๐
Thank you very much, Judy! What our mornings look like, right? ๐
Beautiful photo!! Looks like a painting. I love the intricate frosty detail on the leaves.
By the way – did you make it snow on your site? Several sites I have gone to have snow falling. Is it my computer or is there some option for snow? Thanks for the wonderful photo, Eliza.
Mary
Thank you so much, Mary.
Yes, snow is a WP option for Dec. You’ll find it under Settings.
Thanks! I’m glad there is a reason. Haha!
Silent indeed. Peaceful,,but for the frost’s highlighting winter’s sharp edges.
Many thanks, Albert. ๐
Lovely! I especially like the collar of white.
Thank you! ๐
Lovely capture – especially with your snowflake effect!
Thank you, Tina!
Singularly beautiful and hinting of winter en route.
Yes, winter is coming! Thanks, Dor!
Crispy fresh and crackling … I can almost see my breath!
Yes, rather invigorating! ๐
The subtle colors are also so yummy!
Yes! Late fall does have such subtle beauty, not the loud colors of early fall, so you just have to look a bit closer. ๐
One of my most favorite memories in Maine is the first frosts at the edge of the woods on our property. The sun would stream through the trees and the frost glittered in all the details of the land – the sharp angles of grasses, the fallen crumbles of leaves, the lichen on branches, and my most favorite, the lined leaves and red berries of the bunchberry. Thank you for this beautiful reminder!
Thank you so much, Kathy. Your description paints a beautiful picture!
So nice! My kind of photograph. While I appreciate scenic views as much as the next person, I tend to be drawn to the small things in nature.
Thank you! Yes, as they say, ‘God is in the details’ ๐
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Julie!
Frost really brings out the details in the leaves. There is such depth in this photo, and so much color! Looks like full on winter in your garden-
Thank you. The temps.have been mild lately. We’re running about 10 degrees above normal – no complaints! They say El Nino might keep the Polar Vortex away this winter – which would be fine with me! We could use a mild winter for a change. ๐
That is good news, Eliza. I certainly hope you’re right about keeping the severe cold well to our north- where it is needed! There are still 2 pots of Begonias outside on our front patio. I had no place to bring them in, and they continue to grow. Isn’t that amazing for this far into December? Wish we lived close enough for some hands on tutoring sessions, Eliza. Would love to learn flower arranging from you. โค
Aw, thanks, I would love a session with you
We could create some great winter pots together! I’m going out to look for a dwarf Alberta Spruce, later today,to make a mighty centerpiece for the buffet table next week. Would love for you to work your magic with the pot around the plant! I’ll email some photos of the arrangements my friends created for our neighborhood entrance. They are lifelong experts and do the most amazing things with plant material!
Wet and mild here again today…..
Sounds like the buffet will be well dressed!
๐ Couldn’t find the right shrub yesterday. Now I’m working with an idea to anchor Mountain Laurel branches in a large bowl of damp sand. That won’t support lights, but I have small (1″) gold balls and some small resin birds to brighten the branches, and ‘sheet moss’ to cover the sand…..
You’ll have to post a photo of it when it is finished. ๐
That means remembering my camera next week ๐ I’ve gotten the branches cut and prepped, and will assemble all of the components this afternoon. Spent the entire day, yesterday, out in the garden. It was sunny and warm. I planted the new Cryptomeria ‘Black Dragon,’ and started a new bed around it, filled with spring bulbs and anchored with some little dwarf conifers we found a long the way. What a gift to have such a lovely day this deep into December!
It has been so unseasonably warm. This coming week will be all in the 50s! That is TWENTY degrees above normal. I’m just hoping the forsythia doesn’t break dormancy!
Same here, Eliza. Mine shows yellow buds. It will be in the mid-70s in coastal VA today. Gardening is still far more interesting that Christmas….. ๐
70s – wow! It’s hard to feel Christmasy without the cold, isn’t it?
Something one must grow accustomed to here…. was in the mid-70s when we returned to the car from photographing wreathes in CW today. We drove down by the river, less than 5 miles, and it was 53 by the water. How does that work, exactly?? We still enjoyed the day ๐
I can feel the frost over here. Lovely colors!
Thanks, Maria. ๐
