Frosty morning and a forest of trees.

January 3rd the morning started out foggy, but a short time later the sun came out and armed with my camera I set out for a walk.

The remaining roses looked like they had been painted with a frosty edge.

The sun highlighted the details of the petals of the flowers.

Walking along to the River Market the fog started to move away.

One of the Palm trees looked like it was made of glass.

An hour later I walked back towards home and took this picture.

Then I turned around and the fog was still present.

The walkway was frosty and slippery but with the sun shining made some interesting designs.

This skeleton of a leaf looked lovely with the frost.

A week later the witch hazel is starting to put forth splashes of colour.

My hoochy mama block forest of polka dot and striped tree trunks are in Santa Monica, I wonder what will come home to me?

Blogger is making it difficult to post photos, I hope this works out.

Frosty Saturday morning brings a chilly walk along the quay looking at berries and frost covered flowers. The calendar changed from rainy November to cold crisp December. We're 6 for 6 for sunny days this month! Beauty berries are actually quite a small delicate berry. I managed to catch these ones with some sun shining on them for a change.

These winter pansies are living up to their name, covered in frost but putting on a pretty show.

The sun was just starting to creep into this raised bed of plants

This pansy has found the warmth of the sun and the frost is slowly melting.I'm not sure what type of berries these are, but they are a very deep black colour.

This bunch of rose hips stand out amongst the dying leaves.

This pincushion daisy is bearing up well against the frosty morning.

A bird's nest abandoned for the year, but brings hope for spring.

This hydrangea has dried on the bush and is still full of colour.
