Jack Frost has been vacationing in the Pacific Northwest for the past few days. Brrrr. We're not used to the temperature dropping below freezing. I walked to the pond today to see if it was frozen.

     
   
     
Oh dear - I bet these poor little Primroses were shocked by their blanket of ice crystals.
 
     
   
     
The ice in one of the smaller ponds was beautiful.
   
     
   
     
The vegetation in the shade still wore a frosty coat..
  
     
   
     
White berries looked pretty too.
   
     
   
     
The shore of the big pond which was almost totally frozen, was lined swirling ice.
  
     
   
     
I had to remind myself that this was ice, not snow.
 
     
   
     
I could hear cracking noises as I walked the perimeter of the pond.
     
     
   
     
Some Rose Hips looked a little worse for wear.
  
     
   
     
This beautiful little pond was on my way home.
