Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Devices Photo Challenge: Nature…hanging in there

Not long ago we had a light frost, but last night the frost was much heavier.  The majority of colors in the park these days are shades of brown or grey, but this morning, they were edged with silver, a festive look more appropriate for December.  However, if you look, there are still touches of color hanging in there, sometimes literally, just right for this week’s Phoneography Challenge: Nature.

“But frost, like the crystallized dreams of autumn, began to coat the clearing with its sugar glaze.”
~Victoria Steele Logue, Redemption

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
~J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.”
~J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
