Hoarfailure
We had a lot of hoarfrost during the past week and it looked enchanting. However, I did not manage to take any decent pictures, not from a distance. So I took what I’ve got, a photo that had the green leaves of a climber and the frosty background, and tried to enhance it. I am not happy with the results but I thought it might be interesting to post unsuccessful one-to-three.

PS: I spent the last minutes of 2024 and the first hour of 2025 locked up with my husband and our cat and a bottle of bubbly in our bedroom because Henry wasn’t at all happy about the noise outside. We could eliminate the light effects by closing the shutters but couldn’t completely keep the noise outside. Henry was hiding under the bed while we were toasting the new year. And afterwards I had time to sit a the pc waiting for the youngsters to come back inside (they had gone into the nearby vineyards to shoot off their fireworks).
