First Frost

Yesterday...

 

this is what…

 

we woke up to.

And here is my namesake…

ready for a winter’s slumber.

 

See you next Spring, my little lilac.

I love the image of the leaf with the frost on its edges.

Matty said...

Nice pictures but did you really have to remind me? I deplore winter and cold weather. Give me warm sunshine!

Heather said...

Beautiful and peaceful pictures!!

Maaike said...

the frost looks very pretty

Ashley said...

Stunning! And I'm jealous of your weather, it's still hot here.

Frost? What's that? Living in the subtropics, I don't see this but maybe once a year if we're lucky...it's so pretty in your photos!!!

If you care to stop by for my macro photo this week, HERE IS THE LINK

Beautiful photos! Makes me sad to think summer is gone for now. Oh well.

EG Wow said...

The frost is so delicate on the foliage. Neat, even though it means autumn is really, really here.

chasity said...

beautiful frost photos...i am sure that frost will soon be coming my way as well.

to answer your question from my blog~
well...the flower is delicate and fragile all on its own but i added a texture to the photo using photoshop.
i'm sure the texture was a freebie~probably from shadowhouse creations.

hope that helps :)

have a wonderful beautiful day!

Pretty photos. We had our first frost recently, too (although,probably the SAME frost, since I think we live near you...oh, yeah...) :)

It's good to remember the beauty frost brings. Thanks for the reminder. :)

SouthernSass said...

Very nice! We won't have frost here for at least another 6 to 8 weeks. I am so ready for much cooler temps!

You showed the transition between seasons beautifully!

Ashley Sisk said...

FROST? Already? We just got a 59 degree morning for the first time. I love it!

Claudia said...

Oh My Gosh Sweetie...
This is what I call Fall. I am so loving the frost. Yeah for you all.

The grandkids were swimming in the pool yesterday. I have picks I will be posting in a few days. Unbelievable isn't it? Tonight we actually got a couple of rain bursts and 2 rainbows. Was beautiful, but was driving and not able to take pics. Maybe it will cool off a little or we will be having a horrible humid day tomorrow.

I think of you so often. I pray you are well and safe. You are such a special friend. Have a beautiful week my friend.

Country hugs and SO much love, Sherry

Laura said...

Yeah, I was not ready for that yet. It was COLD! It does look pretty though.

Emmy said...

Brrr! But beautiful pictures!! Macro has never been my strong suit

lisaschaos said...

You captured it perfectly! We've had several frosts already. :( Winter is coming!

Poetic Shutterbug said...

This is actually my favorite time of year and your shots are superb.

ali @ an ordinary mom said...

I know it's October already, but it still seems a bit hard to believe it's already come to frost... summer always seems so fleeting!

bettyl said...

Great shots but sad that winter is on it's way.
