We had no snow during our recent vacation in Missouri but we did have some frosty mornings. It was never a heavy frost, the days and nights were not cold enough, but on patches of grass growing in the shadow of leafless trees, nature worked its simple magic long enough for me to capture its handiwork with my camera. And now I have an everlasting memory of a unique, natural beauty.
It was just a hint of a frost, but as the tiny crystals reflected the rays of a silvery sun, it provided enough enchantment to hold me in thrall, to stop my feet in their crunchy tracks and gaze in rapture at its fleeting, delicate beauty.

ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous, Loree! Now, they will remind you of me when I post some frost :-)
ReplyDeletegorgeous photos, loree - especially the last one of the bud, arrested mid-bloom. beauty can be found in so many, sometimes unexpected, places.
ReplyDeleteI had the same reaction "Frost in Malta" ? But with this crazy weather nothing surprises me anymore ! Your pictures are beautiful !
ReplyDeleteSince yesterday we have minus temperatures so for the first time I saw frost here too. This morning - 3° ! The coldest morning since winter started ! And finally the sun is shining !
Beautifully captured and recounted!
