Another picture from yesterday’s heavy hoar frost. Taken before the sun has fully risen. The foreground branches are illuminated by the streetlight.
Winter Wonderland

This is our backyard at sunrise this morning. There is a lot of moisture in the air and the results are breathtaking. Everything has a coating of frost. Even the clothesline.
One breath of wind and it all comes down.
Beautiful Day Yesterday

Merry Christmas to all!
Yesterday was a beautiful day in so many ways. Woke up to Santa’s presents and Mother Nature’s present of a nice covering of Hoar Frost.
This was taken in the front yard looking up at the trees that create a canopy over our street. Not a cloud in the sky so the sun was catching the hoar frost on the trees. A slight wind was brushing the frost off causing it to fall to the ground.
Oh Look! Another Frost Picture.
This is another image I took back on the 12th. It’s too cold to go out now to take new ones! Minus 30 Celsius then add the windchill factor.
This was a rose. Now it looks like something right out of a science fiction movie. Where is Sigourney Weaver when you need her?
Reminds me of our Kitchen Table

Well, I guess we will not be having a picnic in our backyard anytime soon. Not that we will want to when it has been averaging -15 C all week.
The title of the journal entry might be confusing unless I explain it here. Our kitchen table is the closest “drop off point” to our back door (The most used entrance to the house). After the accumulation of mail, flyers and my camera/lenses the table almost becomes unusable for its real true purpose.
I think the shadows on the ground look like some people are using the picnic table despite the snow. One is sitting on the right side and another is standing on the left. Maybe we have ghosts that cast shadows in our backyard.
Crown of Frost
Another image from earlier this week. Frost on a rose branch.
Lights, Camera, Cold

Two Journal entries in one day! More -30 C images. Took this before the lights came on. Didn’t want the photo opportunity to melt.
Frosty

Minus 30 Celsius today! Leaves are trying to keep warm by covering themselves with a frosty blanket.
It's Beginning to Look a lot like Winter

Big snow storm today. Looks like winter if officially here.
