Frosty Macro

Earlier in the week we woke up to a crisp, clear, cold morning in which everything was covered in a layer of frost.  It was gorgeous!  So I decided to brave the cold and take a photo walk around my yard to see what I could find.

Typically right now everything in my yard looks dead and ugly.  But, I love the way the delicate frost gives everything new life.  Even a dead, brown leaf looks kind of pretty with a layer of frost covering it.  And bare tree branches sparkle in the morning sun when dressed in little ice crystals.  Winter where I live requires me to search a little harder for beauty.  But it’s there.  All I have to do is see.
