First we had a really cold summer, then a really warm September, an unusually cold and rainy Oct., and now November has been warm again. My poor garden suffered and didn't know what to do. ha We are having 60's and sunny this week. Then, I suppose we will get a blizzard for Thanksgiving!<br /><br />Susanne: Thanks so much! I loved those macro crystals too!<br /><br />Vickie: I used to hate frost because it meant the beginning of our really long and cold winters here, but having the camera has opened my eyes to the beauty that every phase of nature provides to us.<br /><br />Brian: yes, like jewels! I like that description!<br /><br />Betsy: our weather has been so up and down. We had really cold, snow and now it is warm and sunny again.<br />For us, 60 degrees in Nov. is really warm. But, not to worry, we will probably get tons of snow before Thanksgiving even comes. ha<br /><br />SquirrelQueen: Don't worry, I quickly remembered my coat...it was so cold out that day that my fingers got numb taking the photos. ha But it was like a crystal wonderland out there.<br /><br />Joanna: thanks so much. Sometimes the photos even surprise me. ha<br /><br />Bernie: Thanks so much, what a lovely thing to say!<br /><br />Sue: Thanks so much for mailing the hollyhock seeds...I had less seeds this year...did I promise you some pale yellow ones? I know two bloggers wanted some, and I can't remember for sure who I promised them to...so if you are one of them, please send me your address, ok?<br /><br />Lynn: Yes, I hate losing the last plants when the frost comes, but it is inevitable where we live. So, I am glad I discovered the beauty of the next objects of beauty that nature provided!!<br /><br />Lesley: Thanks so much. I know that nature did ALL the work. :-}<br /><br />Loree: Nature is always lovely, isn't it?? Even when raging (like in hurricanes, etc.) it provides unique photo opportunities that can't be replaced.<br /><br />Gaston: Thanks so much. I do, too!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-82588317849305611072009-11-09T09:15:49.594-05:002009-11-09T09:15:49.594-05:00What an experience!!

It looks to me like you captured the event quite nicely, Jo, and I well appreciate your post. Today I went for a walk and saw some red berries with droplets of dew hanging off them and thought of your garden reflection. I tried, but nothing wonderful happened for me. I got other good shots, though, thinking of you.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
