We have been fairy fortunate with mild temperatures all the way up to New Years. January 1st was one of our first really cold days. This morning is also a really Frosty January Morning with temperatures in the low 20’s. There is a heavy frost, the hummingbird feeders froze and the cats came back in after only five minutes. On the other hand I got some beautiful frosty pictures. They aren’t as nice as I had hoped, because a bank of freezing fog moved in very quickly as I was taking pictures, and before long the wonderful morning light was obscured.
The beginning of the fog bank is coming my way.
Once descended, the fog engulfed everything. The roofs are very frosty, and will become even more frosty.
Sweetgum leaves covered in frost.
My car’s windshield has feathers of frost spreading from one side to the other.
The hummingbird feeder is frosted, and soon I will need to change the nectar again when it, too, becomes frozen.
One of my blooming Hellebores is frosted up.
As is my Sarcococca. Tiny blooms are beginning to appear and the scent is heavenly.
Frosted Seed Heads on my Sedum and grass.
And my Black Mondo Grass is covered with frost.
The Azalea’s winter color is a beautiful red and is now edged with frost.
And I was able to get this closeup of a lantern edged with heavy frost.
The weather forecast for today and for the next several days is for very cold mornings and temperatures only reaching into the 30’s. And I will enjoy. Hoping your mornings are as beautiful as this and not too cold where you are.

A little fog, a little frost, winter is on the way. Do you get snow? I found you by way of Tootsie.

Hi Nell Jean,
Thanks for coming by. We do get snow, but haven’t had any that has stuck this year. It is now almost 2 pm here, and the temperature has not climbed out of the 30’s. At least now it is sunny. Hope that you have a great week.

Frost means to me: cold! But it’s also very pretty! It gives more work though, to defrost things, and can wreak havoc with older cars!
