Photo of the week: frost pattern on fairy rings

I hadn't seen this before. Have you?

Andrew McDaniel sent me photos that showed morning frost patterns on a dormant korai (manilagrass, or Zoysia matrella) fairway near Fukuoka, Japan. The frost was present around the leading edge of the fairy ring, and a little bit on the interior of the ring, and frost was generally absent on the sections of the fairway without fairy ring.
