Came to cool down seeing all the lovely photography in snow, I tend to do this every year when our temperatures raise +30 deg C with humidity hitting 90%, hibernate and visit cool photography.

Those 'cattails' as you call them, I would imagine when the first warm weather returns will burst open spreading the seed for new plants, they are very pretty to photograph with seeds popping out @jayna.

Just mentioned to @porters I had never heard of Hoar frost before the other day, then remembered it was in one of your posts, so glad to have learned something new.
