Iced Rose

282 - My journey home to York took place today. A Chiltern Trains service from High Wycombe to London Marylebone, followed by a walk through Regents Park on my way to Kings Cross for an East Coast service to York.

I do like the walk through Regents Park, and take a different route each time to enjoy different elements of it's beauty. I wouldn't have expected to see much in the rose garden at this time of year, but there were a number of roses in bloom. The very heavy frost this morning added another element of interest, with an impressive coating of ice crystals on the roses that were in bloom.

@kdimagery

Thank you Kd - it's not very common here either, but the recent sudden sharp drop in temperature caught these unfortunate roses out.
