Freezing temperatures down to -12C extremely unusual for December. Jack Frost is dancing.
He left his tracks upon the summerhouse windows and has claimed it for his own season. He drew barbed wire scratches upon the surface of the glass.
He sugar coated some spiders webs and he laughed as I stroked them - soft but unbreakable skeins
and the crabapples still glow although their hearts are frozen.
Beautiful pictures!
