frozen

In late summer our caryopteris bush has the most beautiful blue flowers which attract lovely orange coloured bees.

The first frost of winter trapped some seed pods which had fallen into the bird bath.

Lovely painterly effect

Really effective image and very well exposed photographically, Hazel, not an easy thing to do! Feels icy! Fav.

[Margaret Brown]

This looks so cold Hazel, love the textures and patterns. We seem to have escaped a frost today, but the weather has been windy with rain, such a miserable day.

Margaret, we've had similar weather to you today but some sun too - this is a photo I took about 2 weeks ago but somehow never posted.

@judithg

I did try but it was not too effective - thanks for the suggestion, Judith. I think it's a bit 'painterly' to start with!

[Nicole]

Really cool how it is captured by the frost!

[Pyrrhula]

We did n`t have much frost. Only one night. Stormy weather Yes, with a lot of rain showers. not the weather to go out for a ride.
Beautiful ice shot

[Maurisa]
