Like many of us we've had a lot of hard frosts this last week and yesterday at -6 also freezing fog along with the most amazing hoar frost so I had to venture outside into the gardens and take some photos of what to me is yet another example of the wonders of Nature. The cobwebs in particular were sensational so there's a few of those.
Just as well I did it yesterday as the 'white stuff' arrived in the Fen's overnight and Rosa had her first venture in snow, it seemed to be a bit of shock losing her feet into it as immediately she'd done the necessaries jumped onto a bench by one of the doors with that sad Lab look asking to come back in, the other three just looked at her in confusion, it's old hat to the senior girls.
I also have a share for the Snippets Playground, a Christmas Wreath using lots of snippets for the stamped Penny Black Poinsettias which were then die cut, it also has some lights entwined into it but my attempts at a photo of it lit didn't work too well! I do hope there's something warming up in the treehouse and I don't mean just hot chocolate!
Thanks for taking a peek, keep warm.

What a beautiful photos Brenda, thanks for sharing them. I love your Christmas Wreath with the gorgeous flowers.
Wow Brenda, your photo's are super! I really enjoyed them!
It will look a bit like that here this week I think; temp will be only 1 max... Your wreath looks beautifully and so warm in those colours! (Naybe a way to get those poinsetta's in the house here; the real ones are poison for the cat... Hugs, Gerrina
A gorgeous Christmas wreath Brenda and your frosty pics are beautiful! You've certainly had harder frosts that we have here in Lincolnshire x

wow - amazing frost photos, thanks for sharing. A beautiful wreath too, I do hope you got something to warm you up in the treehouse.
Oh my goodness these photos are fantastic Brenda! How magical and beautiful everything looks dressed in frost- those cobwebs!!
We have snow too- Marvin a bit bemused at first, wondering what all the cold white stuff was doing in his garden- but soon decided it was fun and had a wonderful game playing with other excited dogs in the woods!

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing them. My car looked like that yesterday. We didn't get any snow last night, but it was very icy today. I had to delay my walk. Love your wreath and that perfect bow xx
Your photos are just amazing! We don't get anything like that where I live in NZ. I don't think I could cope with the cold.
I love your wreath too, so pretty
gorgeous wreath and photo's Brenda

Wow doesn’t tgefroast bring out the best in your photos absolutely stunning they are too l like reading about the lab 😆 still with it being the first time l can see why it’s confusing and cold, l like your wreath it’s so beautiful x
Oh Brenda, che meravigliose fotografie sei riuscita a fare!!! E sei stata coraggiosa ad uscire con quel ghiaccio! Grazie per avercele mostrate!! La natura è davvero incredibile, non c'è un artista migliore di lei!! Le ragnatele sono spettacolari!!! Spero che le tue piante non soffrano il gelo, ma forse lì da te sono abituate...
Mi ricordo un anno che qui ha nevicato e la temperatura è scesa sotto lo zero anche se di pochi gradi. Succede davvero raramente, qui. Io avevo fotografato le mie piante grasse, erano bellissime ricoperte di neve. Il giorno dopo erano tutte morte, un ammasso di pappetta gelatinosa! 😱 😠... Ero così presa dalle foto che non avevo pensato di cercare di metterle in salvo! 😔
Stupenda la ghirlanda con le poinsettia, le bacche, l'edera e quel bel fiocco!!
Povera Rosa, sembra che il suo primo incontro con la neve non sia stato di suo gradimento! :)
Un abbraccio e buona settimana, stai al caldo!
WOW Brenda - what a fabulous wreath - it's SO pretty! You took a marvellous collection of photos there - isn't Nature amazing. We were just commenting on the frosted spiders webs earlier this morning, they look like fine lace.

Wow! Amazing photos. Never such cobweb with frost and never imagine it snow has this effect on such tiny delicate web. Thank you for sharing such unique scenery, from someone in tropical land who has never seen real snow before, these photos are eyes-opener for me.
Your wreath is stunning too!
Warm hug from sunny Malaysia,

What a lovely wreath, Brenda, but the real stars of your post are the photos of the frost!! They are absolutely stunning!!
Blessings

WOW - to everything in this post. Your wreath is so beautiful and the frosty pictures are amazing. Nature sure is wonderful.
Thanks for submitting homework to the Snippets Playground! Once you've finished sliding down the slide, please come up to the Treehouse Bar to enjoy something that might just warm the cockles of your heart! I think Di just heated some mulled wine with all the gubbins! xxx
Oh my goodness Brenda, what stunning photos. Your garden looks like a fairy wonderland with the gorgeous patterns made with the frost, and your wreath is absolutely beautiful, keep cosy, Kate x
What wonderful frosty pics, I'm sad I missed it last week when I was at Rick's. Xx
Its gorgeous wreath!
so beautiful photos!
I love winter!
The wreath is lovely!
The spider webs are so amazing!
Love your frosted garden pics!
Hope you are well!
Oh my - I don't know where to start, Brenda! The photographs are just stunning and you captured nature's fleeting beauty perfectly. The wreath is breathtaking and I had to do a double take when I realised the poinsettias were stamped and cut because they look so real!
Hope you are well.

A gorgeous wreath Brenda, is there nothing you can't turn your hand to. Thank you for sharing your lovely frosty pictures, they are awesome, lovely to look at but not be out in.

I'm Super impressed with your gorgeous wreath, it is scrumptiously beautiful. As for the temperature, we have had the same, but no hoar frost as thick as you. You HAD to venture out into the cold to get the most impressive piccies. I love each and every one. What a treasure of photos, and thank you for sharing them.

WHAT a gorgeous wreath. You have taken such care over this and it's really special. Love all the photographs too, it's hard to stop when it's all so beautiful.
Oh my goodness those images from the frost are incredible. We have not yet had those cold of temperatures here.
I love your gorgeous wreath and coloring of the poinsettias.
Your wreath is absolutely stunning, Brenda! I want one--haha! Love seeing the frosty pictures--so beautiful as long as you can keep warm! Poor puppy! It must be a shock to experience snow for the first time. I remember our first dog absolutely loving it when we took him up to the mountains. He was running & jumping & smiling--the happiest we ever saw him.
I've hopped over from the Snippets Playground. Your wreath is fabulous and so are those frosty photos. Beautiful!
