There was a slight, subtle frost this morning. While I was out savoring the fine, abstract patterns an opportunity like this provides, the temperature rose steadily, so that soon after I started, the tiny frost crystals turned to water droplets, then rather quickly evaporated. As the breeze began to stir, however, one of my favorite plants in the garden, a Miscanthus sinensis, caught my attention, backlit by the rising sun against the backdrop of a deep-green juniper bush. A pin oak leaf had taken up a temporarily perch in one of the Miscanthus’s feathery plumes, and I was able to catch it between puffs of the steadily-increasing breeze before it was dislodged to fall and join its brothers in the litter below.

Das Blatt in der Mitte sieht aus wie ein wunderschöner, kleiner Stern, den die Pflanze zu beschützen versucht..Fantastisch eingefangen, wahrlich eine frostige Schönheit! :)
Ursprünglich hatte ich bereut, daß ich es nicht sah, bis der Frost bereits verschwunden war, aber inzwischen bin ich mit dem relative trockenen Zustand recht wohl zufrieden! Schönen Dank!
