Michael,
Back in tropical Balmie (oops, I mean Bowie), Maryland, our spring blossoms rarely got frosted. But just after our local cherry trees blossomed out, we got a heavy ice storm. So I went out to shoot some closeups of the ice that encased everything. Then a snow came, but soon after, I was surprised to see that every flower survived.

Nature has some mighty effective antifreeze recipes, apparently …

Impressive layer of ice encasing the parts of the flower separately. Do you really think they are going to be able to set fruit? Or are these ornamental cherries anyway?

These photos are so beautiful!

New topic. Nothing to do with frosted blossoms. (Well, at least I don’t think it has anything to do with frosted blossoms.) Who knew that today being 4/20 would have challenging implications for people giving tours to prospective students on college campuses? Especially at, say, 4:20. (Now I’m wondering whether it being 4/20 has anything to do with there being no new blog entry.)
