After the grey, damp, cold weather of recent weeks, it was nice to wake up to a sharp hoar frost with sun breaking through the low mist. The old-timers used to pronounce the word "frost" as "frawst" in my youth, but somehow that old way of talking has slipped away, in this locality at least. I would like it very much if the weather forecasters occasionally said "Tha's a touch frawsty out there s'morning". Here, in ten photos, is what that frawst looked like yesterday.
Did you see the ballet-dancing trees in the third photo?
Incidentally that grey, damp, cold weather of the last few weeks could be described as "rawky", another word for my dream meteorologist!
Take care.
These photos are absolutely splendid, I love each and everyone of them. Sadly we have had no hoar frost here.
ReplyDeleteI see the ballet! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
Regional dialects seem to have succumbed to the general spread of homogeneity we see everywhere today.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ice/air/plants photos...rather nice ice.
ReplyDeleteThere is such beauty in a frosty morning. Like the ballet dancing trees
ReplyDeleteLove those sunny frawsty mornings. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteDancing trees, maybe trying to keep warm! Somehow the beauty of frost gets largely lost in an urban area and I'm too lazy to get up and out before the sun's up. I'm enjoying your photos, frost by proxy.
ReplyDeleteI saw the dancing trees, they're trying to shake off the frost. Wonderful frawsty photos, they're beautiful to see.
ReplyDeleteLove that second photo!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, I need to go out on a frosty morning for some photos. Not heard perople saying Hoar frost much around here either
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the 'frawst'!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the frawsty morn...
ReplyDeleteI love how the frost transforms everything! Even the same old things look cool! We have had some great hoar frosts recently. I blogged about them too!
ReplyDeleteYou really captured those frosted plants into works of art. Great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and, as you said, a touch frawsty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, - the frawst does them proud!
ReplyDeleteThem there frawst photies are whoolly good..
ReplyDeleteDefinitely ballet dancers! I like the light coming through the trees too. There is so much beauty all around us.
ReplyDeleteRawky weather and ballet dancing trees sound, and look wonderful on a 35C day John 😊
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Hoarfrost often is like that.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I like to see the ice patters on puddles and the sunlit, misty photos are a favourite of mine too! We had a very beautiful frosty morning here yesterday so I've got some nice wintry scenes to share soon!
