Winter has arrived! Thankfully, no snow yet, but the frost is making everything look very pretty. I took the camera with me during the afternoon walk with Athos a couple of days ago - yes, there are bits of the forest where the frost stays all day!
Ice and frost on a landscape you see close up every day makes the familiar unfamiliar, so you notice new things at every step.
Where there are rivulets of water that run down from higher up the mountain, you usually hear them trickling, but don't see exactly where they go. Until they freeze, that is.
Even ivy (of which I'm not normally fond) becomes pretty when it's part of an impromptu ice sculpture.
Apparently, the only really effective way to cope with the arrival of cold weather...
...is to drink hot chocolate and wedge your feet under a large, hairy dog!

In the absence of a large hairy dog, a small one will do ;-)
How beautiful are those pictures! Well I'm glad there's no snow yet. On the contrary we in Canada are covered and with no large hairy dogs in sight!

The ice pictures are so pretty... And rivulet is such a cute word!
How nice that Kevin's shirt matches with the couch! :D
