Ah, how lovely the frost is here! I always find the colder weather makes for marvelously clear water. 🙂
Might look nice and wonderful

Was worried my expletive
Shit, was too low grade
A bit too under-cultured
Had I too far strayed?
Smiling emoji reply said all sweet….

The frosted leaves look something out a movie… they make me think of Narnia for some reason…
