Since I walk our dog Rufus every day, I have a chance to closely observe the seasons in our neighborhood. I love seeing rime on plants! Here are some photos from a chilly day last winter. I'm sure I'll see more ice-coated plants soon. (Click on photos for a closer look.)

I've never heard of Rime, but I certainly know it well! My kids consider it proof that Jack Frost paid a visit!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your kids are right. Something so pretty must have been created by Jack Frost!
DeleteBeautiful photos - love those red leaves. Back before Christmas I managed to get some pictures of cobwebs covered in rime, and they looked amazing. My Snapshot is at http://chriscross53.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/seagulls-and-crab-pots.html
ReplyDeleteI've seen that effect before- but don't think that I knew it was called rime. Great photos, so pretty. And Rufus is a great name for a dog.
ReplyDeleteThe name seems to fit him -- even though the name means "redhead" and Rufus is white. We figured we could always change it to Doofus if need be.
DeleteI never knew that it was called rime! Interesting! Very pretty photos...it makes such a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteI love words, especially when there's a specific word to describe something.
DeleteI'm hearing the word rime more too this year. It was new to me. Gorgeous pictures though. I know I will see some this winter. I'll try to get out to get a snapshot of it. Have a great new year, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteOne of the rewards of walking my dog daily is the beautiful things I see. Sunsets, plants blooming, changing leaf colors, and rime -- something new every season!
DeleteSo beautiful! We know rime well here in New Hampshire! November is the time when itis most beautiful, as the snow hasn't come yet and the cold temps at night help create the crystal formations! So lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese photos were taken in November several years ago. Our winter weather is usually rainy here in the Pacific Northwest, so we don't have many days when rime forms.
DeleteI had never heard that term...but have seen the effects. Lovely shots! Thanks for adding to the beauty of cold days.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Thank you, Laurel-Rain. I'm pleased with the way these pictures turned out, but I'd like to get a better camera with a better zoom lens. It's on my New Year's wish list.
DeleteRime is a new word to me as well. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love learning new words!
DeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy.
DeleteSandra, The plants look like they're coated in sugar. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I thought! They look delicious, don't they?
DeleteWhat lovely photos. I keep intending to take some frosty shots, but am never up early enough.
ReplyDeleteI like to sleep in, too!
DeleteI'm with you. I love observing the seasons on plants. Nice collection here. Happy New Year! Anne at Head Full of Books
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has got to be spring when the first daffodil shoots push through the soil.
DeleteLovely, I've never heard of that before, must be cold!
ReplyDeleteI know it isn't good for the plants, but it sure is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for letting me know I'd messed up the link. I had no idea. And also thank you for the compliment on my pictures.
I like the frost on the plants-it is lovely. I am just watching it rain here as I sit at my table.
