2013, Day 13 - Frosted flower

For the past few days frost has covered the city overnight.  Plants and flowers are kissed by the crystalline deposits and this poor confused rose has been fighting winter's grip and usher in the warmth of spring.  Unfortunately optimism has little influence over the weather and we are expected to have lows near freezing for days to come.
