Cold Frosty Morning

Nighttime temperatures have been in the 20s here lately. This makes for some chilly mornings, during which I usually stay snug indoors. This morning, Robin called at 8:00, telling me to get my camera and hurry because the frost and fog ought to make some pretty pictures. "Dress warm," he said.

 I quickly swallowed the remainder of my breakfast and threw on some clothes. Then I bundled up in my heavy coat, along with a scarf, hat, and gloves. The car thermometer said 25 degrees. Brrr! But it was worth it. The frost was indeed photo-worthy. Here are the best of about 135 images.

























There's an old-time fiddle tune called "Cold Frosty Morning." Maybe the long-ago fiddler who composed it was out doing chores on just such a morning as this. Not only was it cold and frosty, it was magical, too.

    Nancy these are some of the most beautiful winter photos I've ever seen. Indeed that fiddle tune is fitting.

    Merry Christmas from the hollers of southwest Virginia:-)

    Such detail in these photos - a "winter wonderland" without the snow!

      Thanks! I don't think I've ever seen frost that thick and "deep."

    Looks like a heavy frost! Great images too! I love the one of the cattle behind the fence, and of the fence itself.
