This cone-flower looks crisp enough to crack in pieces like a sheet of glass.
Nice image, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I showed a sunflower stem way back from this day. All the flowers are gone and overwintering birds will eventually feast on these seeds.
I like the ice crystals, Mary. I assume that the coming of the frost is the end for such flowers. We still have temperatures of around 15 deg C - far too high for this time of year.
Mary MacADNski: We are having the most beautiful November in my memory but we had 15 only once. It's 8 - 10 most days and that is ideal for walking.
A lovely composition here though Mary
