Hoarfrost.

We had a lovely, calm, clear night and morning which resulted in hoarfrost forming in this twig.

Draped

In February our redbud tree is draped in hoarfrost, a beautiful sight to behold. Soon it will be festooned in gay, lovely pink. At either time, it is a blessed sight.

Commonplace?

A most marvellous hoarfrost occurred overnight. Among many other acts of grace it performed, it turned the commonplace – in this case, a clothespin and clothesline – into beautiful works of art.

On a recent sunny morning, hoarfrost clung to the bottom edges of our siding. I wanted to capture its delicate beauty before it vanished. A short time after this photo, all was gone.

Many things wore a coat of hoarfrost yesterday morning. This teasel head was one of the many touched by delicate beauty.
