Hi all 👋🏻😊
FROZEN NIGHTS are already here since September and they make the early #mornings #magical 😊
When I feed the birds (fill up the feeders) I always have a walk around the garden. Especially when everything FREEZES OVER ❄️❄️❄️ Let me take you along today and show you the beauty of the #FROST
Today’s selection will be of 36 PHOTOGRAPHS
Dates are: 30 September, 2, 12 and 26 October 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.
Did you wrap up warm? 🧣🧤🧦 Ok 😊, let’s have a walk in my garden….
The first 2 frosts in September did kill almost all of my veggies in the veggie beds… so I have the veggie garden / beds cleaned up for a few weeks already. I added fall leaves 🍁 🍂 to them to winterise. Also on the strawberry 🍓 patches…
Here you see some young strawberry plants in September… the leaves are frozen 🥶
Some other plants… the frost makes for beautiful patterns ❄️❄️
I have a pine cone hanging on the cabin… it is a good temperature gauge hahaha 🤣 here it is frozen 🥶 almost fully closed… when it is warm it opens up… soon it will close entirely.
Some autumnal leaves 🍁 🍂 on the grass…
See the edges… beautiful. Some areas in the garden do get early the sun ☀️ and everything defrosts quickly. Our plot is located halfway up a mountain and goes up in terraces. The forest 🌳🌲 in the back of the house is the highest area and keeps going up, some parts are rather steep.
The long white frosty grasses… 12 October had a sunny morning ☀️
Long ice crystals ❄️❄️❄️
This night it was a very hard and fast freeze 🥶
Just look at how long the ice crystals are on the plants and leaves 🍃
Some were longer than 1 cm ❄️❄️❄️
Wow, it is beautiful to see 😊
Have you ever seen such a frost on plants?
Walking further towards the veggie beds…
Next to them I have created 2 round areas with wattling, that I filled up with wildflowers 🌸🌼🌸🌼 for the #insects and especially the #bees 🐝
The few that remain were also frozen… this is still 12 October.
These flowers didn’t develop further after the frost…
The frozen pink flowers are stunning… even in this state 🥰
Between the wildflowers we find also some white poppies ❄️❄️❄️ folded together…
You see here the round patch of wildflowers… they all are suffering.
I did clean these 2 wildflower areas up yesterday. During the last month I collected and dried the #seeds for next season 😊🌸🌼 so I can get new wildflowers in the spring and summer.
Let’s look at some more wildflowers…. Some are completely covered with ice 🧊 ❄️
I loved the look of this yellow flower 🌼 stunning 🤩
Another angle…
Nature can truly be amazing, if we want to see it.
Some flowers tried to still stand upright 🥰
Suddenly I see something… do you see it too?
Aawww look at this fly. It is frozen onto the flower petals 🌼🪰
It was at the wrong time in the wrong place.
Some weeds along the path…
The frost did accentuate their appearance 😊
Wandering further…. We see the grass.
Looking from below over the grass… soon the sun defrosted all ☀️
Some leaves this morning (26 October) on the way to the bird feeders 😊
Everything crunches under our feet 👣 ❄️
The broadleaf trees are empty for a while now… all their leaves are on the ground.
A view from today looking over the misty valley 🥰 on this beautiful morning…
What a view to wake up to 😎
Now I wait until it warms up to paint the last walls outside 🎨 of the cabin, so writing this post with a cappuccino is just perfect until I can go outside.
…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.
