Monday's frosty morning.......

Hoar Frost

Stunning!!! It is so ironic, Larry..we had hoarfrost here this morning and I was rushing around like a madwoman to get out there and get photos of it...it is my FAVORITE kind of winter photos..I LOVE it. Ours wasn't as thick as your tree..it is breathtaking. I'll be posting my photos in about a week or so...as I am behind in posting some of my shots and I don't want to get them out of order.
