we had our first frost two days ago, and it was a stunner. i got up early this morning hoping for a similar show, but no such luck. on the other hand, the early bird did catch these frozen raindrops on some newly fallen leaves. we are at that point in the year when it is anyone’s guess whether the droplets will stay frozen until April, or will thaw like summer dew.
