Earlier this week, we had a foggy and frosty day. When the clouds finally started to thin, I popped across town to Lincoln Creek Prairie to see if I could get some photographs of the frost. Here are a few images I came back with.
Frosty Lincoln Creek Prairie earlier this week. Aurora, Nebraska.
Frost on stiff sunflower (Helianthus pauciflorus).
Tall thistle (Cirsium altissimum).
Another stiff sunflower. Sunflowers seem to display frost very attractively.
See what I mean? Maximilian sunflower this time (Helianthus maximiliani).

Frost photos are super! Thank you for sharing…..Gay Gilbert
Great photos of the frost. Thank you for identifying the plants.
Your words and photos are something I look forward to each week! Thank you for sharing them.
Tall Thistle tipped with frosty crystals….my favorite! The brevity of these little visual, natural miracles adds to the beauty for me. It’s the small things that you capture so well for your readers; Thanks so much!
Lovely shots!
