Today's Flowers: Bittersweet and Then Some

When I went for a walk this morning, I had the opportunity to enjoy frost. A November frost is a beautiful thing that glazes the world with evanescent diamonds that dissolve into dew as the sun rises and warms everything within its reach. Frost highlights the delicate lines as it follows the myriad curves that give shape to every unique wonder in the natural world. Frost slows the clock and bids the earth rest that it might flourish again.

  3. Exquisite captures and words to match! We sometimes have to look harder for the beauty of the different seasons, although the beauty is always there for us to see if we take the time. You did take the time, Sandy, and thank you for sharing the beauty!
