Hoar Frost in the Northland

Again today we awoke to the trees painted with Hoar Frost. It was not a day where we were pleasently surprised with this beautiful display of God's handy work, as yesterday we awoke to dense fog and hoar frost that never lifted. Yes we had dense fog for well over 24 hours yesterday. But even if it had been foggy for a week I would not tire of the beauty achieved on bare, sleepy branches by a cloud that chooses to touch the ground on a cold day.

Our back yard looking toward the highway and a field of Poplar trees on the other side of the road.

The Spruce trees out back. I really enjoyed the beauty of these evergreens painted white. They look like they had been turned to stone by the Mouse King in the Nutcracker.

Trees in the horse pasture. It looked like a tunnel to walk down.

Again the back of our horse pasture looking towards the highway. It has been a very white scene the last few days.

I just LOVE the blue of the sky in these pictures. The contrast is completely untouch by editting. It was just that blue. I kept taking pictures of it because it just seemed so pure.

These pictures are of the Christmas lights hanging on the house still. I just wanted a couple pictures to show how much frost there is on everything.
