Just yesterday we strolled the garden,
last night the big chill came,
what a difference a day can make...
I thought I'd share
a bit of this mornings icy show...
the garden was a sugar coated dream...
sparkling in the morning sun...
I was so excited about this shot,
the so tender drooping heads of the Anemone...
It is so blurry!
It was a cold shivery stroll,
aren't you glad you are cozy at home
with a hot cup of tea?
edges glittered to perfection...
so fragile...
there is always hope,
a survivor!!
I told you Gertrude Jekyll is one tough gal,
tucked up close to the gazebo
she showed no signs wear...
Today I am joining
and
Stay Warm :-)

You're right- what a difference the day made! Your photos are beautiful..and good old Gertrude-she is one tough gal! xo Diana
Beautiful. Frost is so pretty on petals and leaves. The perfect touch.
Just gorgeous photos (as always) and matched the conditions we have here in NJ. I'm ready to make some coffee now after seeing them. Thanks for sharing.
Such beautiful photos, Bella. It's so sad to see our gardens touched by frost....knowing what's to come. :( I'm already missing my flowers and looking forward to spring. :)

Beautiful, so sorry, so sad to see them go. Mine have been gone for 2 weeks now. I'm so sad!!
Simply lovely! Thank you for sharing. Hope you're having a grand evening. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
So very pretty! A bit otherworldly. Wonderful pictures! We're still holding our own here. Not too cold. You've got plenty of coverage for those three dog nights! haha xx
Your photos are breathtaking, Bella! Way to jump on a photo opportunity! Stay warm!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
It's the same every year, the cold is coming and surprise us:-)

Lovely photo's,they make me shiver looking at the little gems almost frozen in time. x
Stunning photos. We're heating up here in Australia, the frost is behind us foa another year
Hi Bella... oooh your garden is just beautiful all sugar~coated... I love the second photo where even the spider web is frosted and looks magical... I am an all weather gardener for all seasons, probably you are too... I go out into mine in the coldest of winter to see what's going on... your shots are stunning... xoxo Julie Marie
So sad when the frost sets in! My garden is pretty much put to bed and the post stored for the winter. Great photos, thanks for sahring, Laura Cottage and Broome
They are just beautiful.Looks like they are candy coated with sugar!
Hi Bella, I agree with JoAnn, your beautiful roses look like they have been dusted with sugar. What a great description! How delicate they look. It was sure cold here last night as well. We haven't had a hard frost yet, the grass is still green in places. Once the first frost comes all of the grassy fields and meadows turn the color of wheat. It really is a special time of year. It is also cozy being able to pull out all my sweaters again and put the warm blankets on the bed. Have a wonderful autumn day! Delisa :)
Just stunning, Bella.

Beautiful pictures Bella!
Winter will be here before we know it. Sad but true. Sure took alot of the country by surprise.
Your photos are lovely though.
Thanks for sharing, cuz I found you at The Romantic Home's linky party tonight,

Frost och sol...du var snabb med kameran och bilderna blev toppenfina! Kanderade blad och blommor, mums!
Bella - gorgeous photos! How is it that you managed to make the "cold" so lovely?!? xoxo tracie
Sigh...I adore frosted roses! I got some great photos of snow on roses last year with the November snow we got. So pretty Bella!

How very lovely these shots are! And,sad to see them go! At least they will live on in your photos! I just found your blog through A Delightsome Life, and am so happy to be your newest follower! My name is Jina and I bake sweets!! Your blog is beautiful!
Your garden blooms are still quite lovely, Bella...even after being kissed by Mr. Jack Frost. ;)

Wow, what gorgeous images! I know you hate to see them go. I felt that way about our hydrangeas, but now our camellias are budding and blooming!
Enjoy your weekend!

Hi Bella,
Your photos of your blooms in the frost are lovely (shivering and all). I had picked many of my rose buds the day before we had a hard frost so I could dry them and I am glad I did. I had several and wanted to use them somehow. Now what is left are brown frozen blooms that will probably hang on until the spring. Everything is looking pretty desolate here.
