The frost was determined to make a real entrance yesterday and was still evident at midday. We went for a stroll over the fields, through local woodland and onto a lovely country pub. Coat, hat and gloves kept out the cold, until I decided to take a few pics.

I was not expecting to see such fascinating structures and shapes formed by the frost, i-phone at the ready, hubby sighs deeply as he realises this is now going to be a walk of many parts, as I regularly pause to take “just one more” photo.

My dodgy shoulder makes it difficult to hold the phone too high and can impact steadiness, which is very frustrating.

When taking shots of frost/snow covered leaves, ideally you need a darker background to highlight the contrast. Not always easy.

My efforts resulted in a picture of holly leaves, grasses and small branches edged with frost, that looks like tiny shards of glass.
