Another Frosty Morning.....



My neighbor's lilac bush is magical as it displays it frost.  The Saturday morning was beautiful with all of the trees and bushes loaded with beautiful white frosting.



The silver maple tree looms over our house with it's white coating.  As the morning progressed it was raining down on the house like falling leaves.  As we traveled that afternoon, through the country back roads to go to Ames, the tops of all of the trees in the timber were still coated like white paint on the ends of  artist brushes.  It didn't warm up enough for it to all to fall or melt.

As we returned from Ames, the city that sits along side of Iowa State University, there was an ominous cloud. We drove under it and then we hit an instant wall of fog.  It made it dark at five in the evening and the driving was difficult.  I believe these conditions will again gives us another magical morning of hoar frost for a second day.

We had a very frosty morning the other day. The trees just sparkle in the sun... even weeds are beautiful. Now we're enjoying the more mild weather though.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Larry!

The frost and the tree formed interesting patterns. Looks nice in a whitish background.

I like the shape of the silver maple, it certainly does look magical.
