Winter days with sunshine on hoar frost are special. Early this morning, the overnight fog was still depositing hoar frost on all the trees and shrubs in the neighborhood. Every once in awhile, the sun would spotlight some patch of sparkling whiteness. All these ice crystals will disappear as the winds pick up, blowing it off of the branches and as the branches themselves warm up slightly in the sun, but it's beautiful for a few hours.
Hoar frost gives a magical look to any winter scene. It's like icing on a cake. The photo above is from my collection of photos of my former home near Carman. The red building is an old implement shed that I converted into a modern woodworking shop. It was the only building on the property before the new house was built.
"By the breathe of God, frost is given ..."
great picture :)
ReplyDeleteLove the picture too. It is a woodworking shed but it almost looks like a romantic cabin in the bush. Nature does give us some real beautiful moments!
