Macro Monday – Frosty Colours

When frost is a visitor in my garden, winter is close

Even if it only lasts for a day or two – we wait for the sun to colour our frozen world!

I wait patiently –

– and finally the cold rays transforms the crystals into diamonds.

It is a wonder each time, each year…

…to see them come alive again!

 

 

Macro Monday – in My Morning Garden

Some surviving flowers in my garden – but not many. In the early morning light – this Aster Princess wearing her crown.

Less spectacular, but very saffron – is the millimeter lichen on my old apple tree.

And the Common Spindle – with a delightful fruit. I collected some seeds in the forest 6-7 years ago – and got these lovely results.
