Early Frost and beauty at the BJ's parking lot

We had an early hard frost last week. According to my records, the first frost was on October 31st in 2011, but this year it hit a full two weeks earlier, on October 13th.
I'd just harvested a big bowl of assorted peppers, as well as some small squash and a handful of Goldmarie pole beans the day before, so the sight of these peppers wasted on the plant was not too painful:




Since then we've had an indian summer, with lots of rain and warm temps. I took this picture in a parking lot while I was shopping -- this just proves you can find beauty anywhere if you look!
