We had a heavy frost last night...

Beautiful pictures Potty. Even this horrible weather has it's compensations.

It does Toto....was glad I went out when I did as some of it has melted in the sun. But it's still cold enough to freeze the bird bath water! Thank you!

Nature is fantasic isn't it , beautiful photos PG ...

Great pictures love the little blue tit well caught and love the shapes and patterns you have captured the snow and ice well.

Wow - those pics make the trees look like some alien plant, covered in glass -fantastic!

Lovely artistic photos potty. The present weather does look beautiful, but we had a big fresh fall of snow last night and more is forecast for tonight. I'll be glad when it goes now as it is harder and harder to imagine Spring now.

Wonderful and amazing pictures, Pottygardener! Keep warm...:)

The frost on the cut timber looks like lots of delicate butterflies. Brilliant photos!

They are lovely pictures.I know most of us are fed up of the snow now,but wnen you see scenes like this,it makes you appreciate the beauty of it all....

Thank you all for your compliments, I'm glad you have enjoyed my frosty pics.
It looked fantastic, the only thing I was unable to capture on 'film' was the sparkle the sun created on the frost. It looked like dew drops, but when you looked closely they were shards of ice, mostly rectangular or triangles. Just beautiful. It is really cold again tonight, we could have another frost tomorrow.

Enjoyed your beautiful frosty pictures, well captured.

fantastic photos. isnt ice a fantastic material.

Thanks girls...yes it is SBG...I was fascinated by it.

Beautiful photos, particularly liked the first one, gorgeous.

Amazing and beautiful photos Pg...enjoyed this blog very much,,,,despite being heartily sick and tired of all the snow.Dug out our drive for the third time now since Christmas !

second time here ray and think there is more on sunday boohooo, plenty of grit though, baz brought home which helps, did my neighbours to and she gave me a fresh pot of her homemade lemon curd still warm yummmy

Thank you for your lovely comments Gee, BB and Sandra! Home made lemon curd sounds yummy! :o)
We seem to be colder here tonight than we were last night! Everywhere is compacted snow and we are unable to get anywhere. Tomorrow our neighbour with a 4x4 is taking a couple of us to the village to top up supplies!

how kind of them potty,, good neighbours ;o))

That was kind of Baz.Seems to be no let up...a long haul then.......Pp..take good care...

he`s a good en ray, im taking a bag to work for forcourt, ran out and dont want the older clients having a fall, well the ones we have left, all canceling with this weather :o( i wont be making any money again this week :o(

I Know ..it all has a knock on effect Sandra. Good that you can make it safer for the ones that do make it there !

thanx ray :o)

That's my problem Sandra, being self employed...don't work, don't earn....but it can't be helped. Just hope we get back to it before the 'savings for a rainy day' run out!

yes me to potty,, cant last forever,can it! -6 here now in blackpool and getting colder brrr

Same here Pp.....not much work for gardeners in this weather !

What amazing paterns :o) I've never seen that before.

Beautiful photographs..........

wow what beautiful photos ,l they look amazing ,:o)

Sandra and BB ~ We'd be no better off employed with the latest news that several employers are not paying staff who do not turn in.

Hywel, Lincs and Joan ~ pleased you like the photos, the frost is pretty amazing isn't it?

Hywel ~ the only time I have ever seen the patterns in frost or snow flakes as defined as these were was when I was at the top of a mountain in Austria. It was so cold you could make out the pattern on each individual flake that fell on your coat! That just shows how cold it is here!

I got my lift to the village, and have just returned from the shop, re-stocked with food. :o))

think your right potty alot having a bad time with it not getting into work etc,

How mean Pg !!

What an absolutely fantastic set of photos PG ! I have really enjoyed this blog. What time in the morning did you take them ? If you got up early, it was definitely worth it. :-))

Brilliant set of photos ... they're really quite beautiful! Enjoyed this close look at frost.

Thank You Muddy and Bernieh. I am pleased you enjoyed this. So much more to see through the camera lens than the naked eye.

Muddy ~ it wasn't that early, about 9 / 9.30. Very, very cold but yes, worth it!

its many years since i saw that sort of frost
i never forget the sound of the crystals of ice falling off the muddy banks and making a sort of tinkling sound (like xmas sleigh bells )
it happened when i walked past the frosty banks and the sound of my foot steps triggered a cascade of ice crystals tumbling down the banks.
as they collided with each other they made this lovely tinkling bells sounds

That's a delightful story, PD. It is a long time since we have had weather as cold as we were getting at this time.

Fantastic pics... don't know how I missed this ! :o)

LOL TT, thank you and better late than never, as they say! Makes me feel chilly again looking at these!

I hope the frost has melted by now. LOL...

... but well done on capturing the images so beautifully while it was so chilly ;o)

Oh yes TT, been lovely and sunny and warm here for a few days now.

Oh,dear,yet another senior moment.!! far too many lately.I should have taken note of the date you posted this blog,and not the latest replies..yes,you have probably guessed....I thought you had the frost at the weekend.Duh...I told my Hubby too,and he said "crikey" or words to that effect Lol. ..and there was I
wondering if you had lost some of your plants..It would have been a good one for April Ist :o))...Am I forgiven,or shall I go and stand in the corner ?..Well,it may make you smile anyway,and at least I admitted it.....

LOL Bloomer......it did make me smile, and you are forgiven....you are not alone in senior moments! Take comfort in that ~ I have to!

I hope you enjoyed the photo's. I wonder if we'll get the likes of that kind of weather again? We are still having warm and sunny days...so enjoyable....had to water my pots tonight! :o))

Idid enjoy them Pg...the second time around too, looking back to 7th Jan ! ! Its been lovely here too,but a slow start,as the yellow thing didn't appear till noon.
I have had to water mine tonight too,in fact didn't come in till after 8pm,it was so nice.Almost needed a miner's lamp to see what I was doing :o)))
