Macro Monday: Blue Flowers in Rain and Frost

CIMG5290-1

Yesterday I went for a walk in the rain and found these blue flowers still in bloom in the park. Quite a colour shock against the yellowing leaves in the background.

I was surprised to see that they had managed to survive the frosty nights we had earlier in the month:

The frosty pictures were taken on 21 Oct, the rainy ones 30 Oct.

It’s Macro Monday at Lisa’s Chaos.

Gorgeous colors in those flower petals - and they look beautiful both covered in rain and edged in frost.

Gorgeous, your frost pictures continue to amaze me!! That is getting to be your specialty. I never even tried to snap frost, because I sleep too late!
