Came to cool down seeing all the lovely photography in snow, I tend to do this every year when our temperatures raise +30 deg C with humidity hitting 90%, hibernate and visit cool photography.
Those 'cattails' as you call them, I would imagine when the first warm weather returns will burst open spreading the seed for new plants, they are very pretty to photograph with seeds popping out @jayna.
Just mentioned to @porters I had never heard of Hoar frost before the other day, then remembered it was in one of your posts, so glad to have learned something new.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughtful comment, @joanstewart! I’m sorry for the heat and humidity you’re experiencing. I hope it cools down for you soon!
