A Frosty Morning - Colors of Autumn

            Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium.  Common names: old field balsam, rabbit tobacco and sweet everlasting.  I'm not sure where this plant came from but I've come across it growing here and there in the front yard this Fall.  I've taken quite a few pictures of it, some I've thought about posting but I've been holding out for something a little bit special.  Yesterday morning we had another fine frost so out I went with my camera and the Meyer Optik 50mm f/1.8 Oreston lens.  The frost only lasts until the rising sun hits it and I was fortunate to find this grouping just before the sun reached it. 

One for my Bokeh in the Front Yard series.  As I've stated before, my front yard is a mix of anything that wants to grow.  In this image, I liked the way the white of the rabbit tobacco flowers provided a diagonal divide between the frosty greens of the grasses and the golden light punctuated by the browns of the Knapweed seed heads.  Bokeh provided by the Oreston and frost. 

BTW: The EXIF data is wrong, I used the Meyer Optik 50mm f/1.8 Oreston shot at f/1.8.  Getting to be a standard clause  as I rarely change the setting in the camera.
