Frost is often a beautiful sight (except when getting in to your car early mornings). In the end of autumn it is also a sure sign that winter is quickly approaching. Make no mistake – winter is here now. It’s -13° C outside according to my thermometer.

I took some of these shots with a 90mm macro lens. The ice crystals really pop when you nail the focus.
