Lovely pictures! It wasn’t our first frost unfortunately.W hen we moved down here ten years ago, I was under some misapprehension that it was mild and clement in Devon….how wrong I was. We’ve been snowed in four years on the trot and am fully expecting it to happen again this year. I can’t wait for my Hellebores to flower; this will be their first year big enough to do so so thanks for the sneak preview!
I’m not sure the hellebore SHOULD be flowering in November… only the one though, hopefully the rest will await their time.
Lovely pictures.
I love that even Nettles look lovely when tinged with frost. 🙂

Hopefully it will slow them down a bit too!
I love me some frosty photos.
There have been so many gloomy days recently, it was nice to be out in the sun. Even if it was very cold!
I love your pictures – the Rose looks like it has been ‘frosted’ for a cake with a sugar coating if you now what I mean like those sugar coated fruits and the Mahonia leaves are such gorgeous colours anyway made even prettier by the frost.
I know exactly what you mean. The same thought occurred to me.
Gorgeous photos. Gorgeous frosty mornings to wake up to.
Thanks Penny. Mike took this series, I will pass on the compliment.
Beautiful photos. I would much rather have frost than damp any day!
You and me both!
We had our first heavy frost last night as well. Was gone by mid morning, melted away by a lovely warm sun. Lovely photos, very sensitively taken.
Thanks Vera. Oh, that’s where you have the advantage. The sun isn’t quite so warm here any longer!
Beautiful frosty photos! I had to defrost the bird bath and pour hot water over the wheelie bin to open it this morning. We have Geum lemon drops in our garden too:)
Brrrr indeed. The birds’ water bowl was frozen here too. I moved the geum this year. I hope it has re-established enough to cope with the winter.
This season brings us so many beauties, if we know how to look.
Thank you 🙂
That’s so true, Cherie.
beautiful photos, i love that the nettles look just as stunning as everything else! Julie
Thanks Julie, and welcome to rusty duck!
The nettles may have won themselves a reprieve. Until Spring anyway!
Crisp frost is so beautiful! And The Gardener loves it – at last those hedges and lawns will stop growing!
Time to put his feet up!
Wow! Really beautiful photos! I especially love the frozen flower.
Thanks Alex. It is lovely isn’t it? Getting almost as cold as Sweden here now!
