We awoke this morning to a Hoar Frost Wonderland. The thickest hoar frost I have witnessed in person transformed the landscape into a surreal white world. At 7:15, I was outside taking pictures in the foggy air, starting within the confines of our property, but quickly moving to my neighbors' yards. [I think by now, they all know me to be the crazy neighbor with the camera]
Who knew weeping willow branches could look so ethereal?
And once the sun came out, I was outside again for round two:
Now that it is almost 2pm, the icy glitter is gone, burned off by the sun. But it was beautiful while it lasted.
All today's pictures are straight out of the camera, as I am joining
Melody at Slurping Life this SOOC Saturday.
Beautiful Images!

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful ~ I love a deep frost in the morning :D I looked at your flickr ones too ~ also lovely :D The DOF on the ladder one is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow what a thing of beauty those shots are
ReplyDeleteThe weeping willow is my favorite. Perhaps because there is something immensely romantic about a weeping willow. And one with ice? Even more surreal.
ReplyDeleteThose are all so beautiful. The blue sky in the leaf one just about took my breath away!
