I love photographing frost on things. This picture of mine appears in the newly-published Great British Cookbook
No opportunities like that have arisen just yet, but the next couple of photos show you that we have definitely had some rain. The photos were taken early in the morning, so the lines of droplets on these Brussels Sprouts may be partially dew as well as rain.
This is the head of one of my PSB plants. This photo makes it look big, but it's really very small.
Amazingly, I still have a Raspberry plant that is producing ripe berries - just one or two. This photo was taken on 20th November.
Some of the Dogwood bushes have shed all their leaves now (see red stems in photo below), but this one hasn't. It's Cornus Alba "Midwinter Fire".
The Buddleia seems to think that it's Springtime already, as it's covered in fresh leaf growth. I love the colour and texture of those steely-grey downy leaves!
P.S. I drafted this post last weekend, and of course since then the temperatures have taken a dive, so maybe next weekend I'll be able to start photographing frost again!
I wouldn't be surprised to see some frost here this week, the temperatures have dropped considerably over the last couple of days. It's wonderful that you're still harvesting raspberries, mine finished long ago.
ReplyDeleteI usually take photos of frost here when we get it. We have been really cold - way under freezing - at times but we haven't had a lot of nice frost. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful! We only get to photograph the dew..frost definitely looks better!
ReplyDeleteI feel mt toes tingling in anticipation
ReplyDeleteI do like a frost, we had our first one this morning. How lovely to still have the odd raspberry at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I often don't think to get those close-up shots...the detail captured is quite wonderful. I must change that in the future.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I wish I still had raspberries! Jealous ;)
ReplyDeleteMalia is right, Mark. Beautiful shots and crops! I grow PSB but they don't seem to grow well in the garden, :)
