Autumn. Cold morning. The grass is covered with white hoar frost, as the exquisite lace. It looks very nice.

"Hoar frost (also called radiation frost or hoarfrost or pruina) refers to the white ice crystals, loosely deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form on cold clear nights when heat losses into the open skies cause objects to become colder than the surrounding air."
