Jack Frost - An English Winter Fairy

A present from Jack Frost

We are so fortunate to have received a visit from Jack Frost himself who painted this beautiful and intricate design on an old windowpane in the Grove.  Here is photographic proof of the existence of the little folk!

Where Old Man Winter can be stern and grim; Jack is all about fun.  He sees the beauty in ice and snow; and not the hardships that can come with the harsh winter weather. 

Just before dawn, this sprite tiptoes into gardens and looks for tree branches and blades of grass to coat with his shiny, shimmering paint.  He especially loves finding an old single-paned window or any other thin, clear surface that he can use for a canvas.

Jack is willing to share the beauty of winter with you.  Make sure you check early in the morning when the results of his work are still at their finest.  If he paints an original masterpiece somewhere in your vicinity; take a few moments to examine it. Each of his works are unique ... and he created it just for your enjoyment!
