He nibbles your fingers and your toes

When all seems lifeless and dead outside trust Jack Frost to pretty things up a bit, on the news last night it as talking about how we had a Rime Frost (Rime is ice formed when a damp, icy wind blows over flowers, branches and other surfaces. Rime frost looks like icing around the edge of petals and leaves, and only occurs when the are very low) but the frost we had last night I think was a combination of Rime frost and Hoar frost (Hoar frost occurs when water vapour touches a very cold surface and freezes on it instantly. This can happen to the leaves and branches of plants, and will cover them with ice crystals that look like spiky fingers. It can also occur on other freezing surfaces such as soil and metal, and so can often be seen on cars. Hoar frost can occur at higher temperatures than rime frost – usually when the air temperature is around 0°C (32°F). However, the ground is usually much colder, and the air must be moist for the ice crystals to form. )

Anyway here's what we had this morning so let me know because at least dead plants and spider webs look a lot more interesting when touched by Jack Frost

Cool series, George - and thanks for the continuing education! I love #3! The bokeh is #4 seems a little noisy - is that intentional?

Soo, George, don't tell me again, that you were thinking about to trash those beauties here!

Fantastic George!!! I love them all, but the spiderweb is amazing!!

I swear, you should write a book. Even if you are copying down information, you make it so interesting.

Nope just the way it turned out
