Frost.

A beautiful day with hard frost when we got up.  I needed to pop out to the Lodge to drop something off and knowing my bliportunties would be few I took shots of the drifts of leaves with frost on.  We have one deciduous tree which has probably less than 100 leaves and yet I get several square yards of leaves up to 6 inches deep.

In the afternoon following "tradition" "The mate" arrived to celebrate his birthday.  So a nice meal and a few drams followed.  Rounded off by a Scifi DVD before bed.
