Jack Frost was here this morning

This morning's dog walk was beautiful.   It looked like an image from my Ladybird book, What to Look For in Winter.

Winter, Hertfordshire

Jack Frost was at his most artistic:



Blogger Lemon Layer Cake says it was a "hoar frost" and describes what that is in her post.  Apparently the word hoar comes from the old English adjective meaning to show signs of old age.  Whatever it was it was beautiful.

    1. Beautiful isn't it, and thanks for the definition of a hoar frost, I have since amazed and astounded many friends with this new knowledge.
