I’ve been having a great time sharing the frost photos that I took not long ago and I hope you’ve been enjoying them. To see an entire park covered with diamonds of frost is to encounter a beauty too great for words and almost impossible to share even through photos. However, I can but try. Just imagine this times all the leaves on the ground and you might have a glimpse of what I mean and saw. Perhaps your heart will be as full as mine was.
December’s wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summer’s memory…

What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?

love the frost photos
Thanks, Beth. I’m glad you did. I enjoyed taking and sharing them. 🙂

Looks amazing!
The entire walk was filled with amazing beauty of this kind. Thanks.

I am trying to visualize. 🙂
Once I get the photos off my Nikon, maybe I’ll be able to show you a bit. We’ll see. But there was frost on everything and lots of the things I’ve already shown you were around so you can imagine that it was quite something!
Your frost photos have been amazing pointing out another one of Mother Nature’s special effects. 🙂
Those special effects are quite something, aren’t they, Judy. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them. Are you digging out from a lot of snow?
janet
Magical!
Thanks, Roda. I certainly thought it was. 🙂

This is a great photo. It shows off Mother Nature at her most creative. This park is a treasure trove for you and your camera! 😛 —-Ginger—-
That it is, Ginger. I haven’t been out for a bit and I miss it. It’s my get-away place in the city and my sanity is thankful for it!!

I really like the frost along the veins of the leaf – great photo, Janet!
I thought I might never get out of the park, Dan, there were so many beautiful little things to see. I finally had to just leave (just leaf?) 🙂 Happy Monday.
Nicely captured.
Thanks so much, Sally. Hope your week’s off to a wonderful start.

You must be Jack’s sister, Janet Frost, no?
Happy Monday!
Randy
Shhhhhh. You’re weren’t supposed to tell. 🙂 Thanks, Randy, and happy Monday to you as well.

Frost is so beautiful, and you have captured it perfectly here, Janet. Seeing it on the rim and veins of the leaf in crystals, and the surface of the leaf too…thanks for this glimpse of winter beauty. Liked the quotes too.
Jet, I’ve enjoyed so much on your blog that I’m glad you’re enjoying some of what’s here. I found lots and lots of great quotes about winter, so I’m thinking of a post just with them. We’ll see. Happy Monday.
I’ve been loving your winter wonderland photos, Janet.
Good, Madison. I’ve been enjoying sharing them. There might be one or two more as well. 🙂 I hope you had a good weekend and that your week’s off to a great start.
Great pictures!
Thanks so much! I’m very happy you’ve been enjoying them. 🙂
janet
you always amaze and inspire. i love your posts-thank you!
Thank you so much, Holly. You just made me day quite special. 🙂
janet
Beautiful. We rarely get frost so it’s a treat to see.
Glad to share, Carol. 🙂

Another home run, Janet.

Thanks, Allan. I have a few more in the freezer….er, up my coat sleeve. 🙂
As you know I love these frost photos! And I know what you mean when you say how hard it is to capture the sparkle and the beauty.
I think it can often be easier to capture the small beauties than the beauty of the overall picture. But it’s also easier to miss the small ones, which is on reason I like to highlight them. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the frost series.

Oh wow, this looks like a geode that’s been cracked open! The macro focus makes it very abstract and open to new interpretation.
And thanks for opening my mind to that possibility, Hannah. It does look a bit like a geode.

Magical Janet
Thanks, Pauline. I thought so, too.
I am LOVING these frost photos! We don’t get those long crystals here — at least, I’ve never seen them. Maybe I need to look more closely!
I think if you look, you might find some quite beautiful things, Marian. But I’m glad you’re enjoying my shots, of course. 🙂
