All curled up.

I feel like curling up! It's a tropical 2 degrees outside here today. But I have no kids, its a blue sky and the sun is out so I went for a play in the garden with my macro lens.

Love frosty shots like this. It looks like it's dipped in sugar.

[Annie D]

what a gorgeous frosty shot Ruth

[Newbank Lass]

@bella_ss @annied Thank you. First try at frosty shots and apart from getting very cold. Still not taken my winter coat and im still cold it was lots of fun.

[Rachel]

Those little delicate bits of frost are so pretty.

[gayelene]

Great capture :)

[Babs]

The frost looks so pretty, but can't imagine cold like that at the moment. It has been about 36 degrees C here today and although it is cooler tonight the humidity is at about 80%, so very uncomfortable.

[Carl Thomas]

very nicely done, and a lovely macro

[Ukandie!]

Lovely frost shot.

[Irene]

This is a lovely shot . The frost looks quite delicate

[Susan]

Delicate details, lovely.

[gloria jones]

Great composition, shot

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely capture, it certainly is cold at the moment.

[Graeme Stevens]

2 degrees...lovely. Sounds like shorts weather...

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens there are people who are still wearing shorts.......the post lady does.

[Margaret Obey]

Stunning shot, love the rimming of frost on the leaf

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank Madness. Pure madness. I only break out shorts when (and if) it breaks 30 degrees.

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens 30??? 30 is unbearable and basically only birthday suit under a fan would do. Good thing the here doesn't hit 30 much;)

[Lyn Berriman]

We were 42 here the other day - VERY hot!!! LOVE this image!

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank Well...maybe 29 - no one wants to see me in my birthday suit!

[Judith Greenwood]

Beautiful! Wet knees?

[Denise fuller]

Beautiful image

[Bill Fenske]

love the frost!

[~~JT]

Love the curl and the focus on the frost on the curl! :) Really great!

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful shot. Good perspective.

[vstap]

Nice.

[Andrew]

love the detail.

[Joyce]

Great detail and I love the way the frost outlines the leaf

[David]

Oh My - you had to get down on the cold wet grass for this shot? Dedication to the art! Worth it, whatever.

[Tanja R]

Love the DoF! Cool.

[Taffy]

@888rachel @pamknolwer @golftragic
Good for you to be going outside in this cold!! And the metaphor of your leaf is perfect for the idea/concept AND for the macro challenge! The frost really comes out well and I like how my eye travels along it.

[Nicole]

very lovely!

[Stephanie Swift]

Beautiful macro, lovely texture and dof, fav for me.

[Marnie]

@taffy, @pamknowler, @888rachel I really like this shot Ruth, and like Taffy admire your tenacity in that awful cold. The curved top of the leaf shows off the frost very well and your dof concentrates attention on that section of the image.

[tony gig]

Wonderful focus and shot...fav
