Wow Mary! At first glance it seems such a beautiful simple shot, until you delve deeper into all those tiny particles of ice. Stunning. Love the colours too. :)

Sweet shot Mary, is it already that cold in Staffordshire?

13 Nov 2007 9:56am

@DaveB: It was the night before last Dave, we woke to a heavy frost, I was really suprised to see ice, my hubby had to scrape the car windows too, this was in a metal dish I keep water in for the birds. it's warmed up a little thank goodness, or the rain that we have today would be snow!

Oh that's stunning...my first thought was: 'Mon pays, ce n'est pas mon pays, c'est l'hiver' A Canadian folk song "My country, isn't my country, it's winter' Maple leaf being our emblem...well there is a sequitur there ;)
