We are approaching the first of September, which means our hottest days this season will soon be past...THANK GOODNESS! My favorite times of year here in southern Oregon are Spring, Fall and Winter, and it won't be more than a month or so before we'll start getting frosty mornings again! Here is a frost-encrusted blackberry cane, complete with a thorn, just in case you thought it would be nice to touch those lovely crystals! :) It will never fail to amaze me how detailed and beautiful frost is when you get a close look at it! :)

This was a really cool find! I saw all the icicles on the eaves above the blackberry bushes, so I looked to see if any icicles had formed on the bushes too...and they had! So much fun!!

This picture shows a close up of a blackberry vine, complete with frosted thorns. Crazy, isn't it? I've never seen such well-defined crystals before! Explored on December 12, 2013. Highest placement, page 7.

[best appreciated at full size against black] This was an image I took back in January when I was out taking frost shots. At this point in the morning, the frost had melted away, but that didn't stop me from looking around for pretty things to photograph. Here is another image of a blackberry leaf, in shades of burgandy and gold, backlit by a ray of sunshine! This image was taken in January, 2012.
