Morning frost


The Villigen post office garden lies alongside the bus stop and I caught these tiny flowers in the frost this morning as I was waiting for the bus. The taller stalk is about 5 cm (2 inches).

A beautiful portrait of nature struggling to survive-nature!

Lovely picture for the first day of Spring.
I think those flowers are called grape hyacinths but I'm no botanist. I've got some in my garden too.
Thanks for calling by my other blog.

The contrast of Spring flowers and morning frost is very effective.

Macro in the morning. Good to know that not everyone is as sleepy as I am... :)

They are absolutely beautiful; two little buds who can't wait for Spring to arrive.

C&D, Denton, Per and Ming: Thank you all for your nice comments.

Angela: the name would certainly be appropriate as they look so much like grapes. I had forgotten all about the first day of spring!
