Every leaf has a silver lining

It's been cold, really cold, in Stratford upon Avon during the past few weeks. Now that I can semi-walk Hobbes again (he's not impressed by my dawdling snails pace), I'm enjoying the early morning frosts in Shakespeare's park by the river. Here's a couple of pictures I took this morning of the tiny plants that cover the walls surrounding the WW2 memorial garden. Click the pictures to enlarge so that you can see the ice crystals.
