frost

On Friday, we had a very severe frost as I mentioned in the post below. While it wasn’t a hoarfrost killer it was still an intense frost. I think these images from one of our potted Dahlias tell the whole story. The irony is the first image was photographed on a cold grey day a week or two ago and the second on this marvelously warm sunny fall day after the frost. I love the Mandela in the first image. The second image is almost abstract except that I know what it was before, although I can also love it for what it is now.
