Beautiful! Ordinary things (rocks, lichens, moss, leaves, and frost) that look extraordinary in combination.

Thanks, Derrick.
The combination of muted colors and textural detail is lovely.
The trailing lines of the brambles were a nice touch too.

One of nature’s still life settings.
Frost does create some wonderful scenes. Well captured Susan.
It was worth the scramble to get to it.
Not this year’s shot, surely? Nothing like that here this season. Lovely shot though.
It was just a few days ago, up on the edge of the moor, in a frost pocket.
Ooooh!
Lovely!!

Nice photo
Thanks, Tracy.
As I said to Ann-Christine, they look crystallised.
Just not with sugar.
