Hoarfrost: Part TWO!

As mentioned in my other blogpost,
I took so many photos of our recent hoarfrost on the trees and plants...
that I had many more to share with you.

So we will continue again today....


Weeds take on a whole new look when they get covered in shiny frost!:









And, just LOOK how neat the frost crystals are up
close and personal:


























And the hillsides?

MAGICAL!:







When the sun shines down on the bushes, they absolutely
GLOW!:





See?

SEE why I get so excited
when I look out my window
and notice that we had hoarfrost arrive overnight?:


















I will be doing one more blogpost
with the pictures of this glorious day, so stay tuned!

  2. these are all wonderful. isn't it odd how the background colors change with which way you are shooting. i love all the colors in the background, and i like weeds as much or more than flowers. the frost really dresses them up. I don't have a single bridge photo in my archives, the ones around here the traffic is so awful i don't want to stop and try for one

  10. You really do justice to the hoarfrost!! You make hoarfrost most enjoyable when you can see the crystal formations.
    Thanks.
