December frost in Churton

A beautiful day all day yesterday, and it was lovely today too, right up until the skies opened.  Fortunately, by that time the chilli con carne was in the slow cooker and the log fire was doing its stuff most effectively.

Just a few snaps from the garden, capturing some of that crisp contrast between the white lace of the frost, with all its snowflake complexity, and the autumnal shades and shapes, framed, captured and transformed.

As soon as the sun crept around the corner of the house, the frost started to melt, its drips capturing a myriad of colours.  For the first time since I put them out a couple of weeks ago, the bird feeders were a hub of activity, a reflection of just how hard the ground is.

    I can be a bit of a baby about the cold, but just one look out of the window and I grabbed the camera and went to have a closer look. Stunning. All washed away by the rain, but it will be back 🙂

      I am so pleased you like them. There’s a narrow window between the sun lighting on the frost and it melting. Today the frost is so heavy that it looks like snow, and the sky is such a pale grey that it looks as though the sky has frozen too.
