Christmas already! It feels as if it has sneaked up on me very quickly again this year. As usual, I’ve been on the lookout for a photograph of a suitably frosty ‘decoration’ from the garden for this post.
Luckily, our recent frost and snow, which lasted for several days, was a great opportunity to spend time in the garden with my camera. There are always some seed heads left in the garden and these look good when they’re heavily coated with frost. The seed head you see here is on a bronze fennel. It’s the same plant that I used for the photo of a seed head with water drops (from melted frost) in this post. (The photographs in that post were taken in a previous winter.)
Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, I wish you a time of happiness, and a time to get together with the people you love. I hope that it will be a chance to enjoy being with family and friends. Merry Christmas everyone! 🙂

Merry Christmas to you! I hope Santa brings you days of perfect winter weather to enjoy with your camera: snowflakes and frost and even a little ice, if it isn’t too bad and doesn’t cause human problems!

Thank you! I’m imagining Santa running around with a big bag of assorted weather conditions created especially for photographers, hehe!

Two for the price of one: first water droplets, then ice crystals.
Your post is dated the 25th while here it’s still the 24th for a while longer.
Happy Christmas to you.

Thanks Steve! Fennel is very useful for photography – I’ve managed to photograph the fennel leaves with frost on them too in the past. (These are usually gone by now.) You can see one that I used for Christmas 2020 here: https://annmackay.blog/2020/12/20/merry-christmas/
