Spring Frosts

The top picture is of a miniature camellia and rock in my pond surrounded by ice one frosty morning.  The collection of vintage and home-built aeroplanes was last weekend when they had a get together.  I would like to be able to show you the collection of helicopters that gathered there last night.  There were at least ten ready for frost fighting over the near-by vineyards.  Last year there were over forty one night and there are at least seventy helicopters on call if needed. Not helpful for getting a good sleep.
