Frosty Winter Mornings

A few times each winter when the conditions are just right for us to get frost, as in hoar frost since the ground is already frozen. Basically, hoar frost is a deposit of needle-like ice crystals formed on the ground by direct condensation at temperatures below freezing point. It is also called white frost. It does look like everything is coated and white and it just glistens in the sunlight. It is such a pretty sight, I am not sure that my pictures even do it justice.






Not frost, but I love the icicles forming in the pine trees as the sun is warming the snow causing it to melt.
