Patterns in Nature: Winter Frost

I enjoyed a frosty morning at the farm recently... and took a few photos exploring the beauty in the frost and ice at different scales. Enjoy!


Frost covered paddocks


Leaf edged with frost


Foxglove leaf covered in frost


Ice crystals on grass 


Ice crystals on old grass stalks


Ice on a shady pond


A receeding water level leaving old ice high and dry, with fresh ice on current water level

Ice crystals along the edge of a larger ice crystal 



Isn't nature beautiful?! Definitely worth getting out of bed and braving the cold morning air for :)

Winter Wonderland

Winter is definately here. I am a little late in getting this up here, as the snow fell about a week and a half ago, but I hope you enjoy anyway :). It only snows occasionally in the city I currently call home so when it does it is always a little bit exciting. I love to go outside in it and watch the flakes fall and settle on my jacket. This time the flakes were big and it was like someone had ripped open a giant goose down duvet and emptied the contents over our world.




 I love the way it tranforms the world. It snowed all day, but the following morning dawned bright and clear and I found many gems of beauty when I went for a walk to explore my frozen world.

















I don't know how many worms these blackbirds found that morning though...
