The others have said it all before me, this is absolutely the icing on the cake...pun intended. Just splendid frost crystals around the edge, with the delicate painting of the vein and sprinkle of powdered sugar over all. Magic.

I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Stunning John! Looks like we may be in for some SNOW!! Yuck!
Yes its Stunning. We are getting frosts now and possibly some snow today but not much. Great image John.
Ooh, John, I love this even more than yesterday's.
I really love this one...green being my favorite color...and the frost on it is wonderful! I see a leaf book following the flower book :-)
Nature's art - perfectly captured!
Cheers, Klaus
A perfect picture John. Soon there will be no color left unfortunately.

I love how you can see the frost. It made a great frame for the leaf. Also the oak made a great back ground
Beautiful photos... Enjoyed your blog... :)
That's a beautiful image, the texture of the frost on the leaves is very interesting and well captured in this image....Thomas
Had the first frost on the windshield this morning. I liked yours much better!
I love those frosty leaf pics :-)

I got WAY behind in blog visiting, but just wanted to say I've LOOKED, but not commented, and I LOVE all these frost ones. Spectacular!
