Frost From Nowhere


There was a heavy frost last night. As I walked Amy down the road this morning the frost had painted patterns on the wall. The incorporated frozen fern shows that it is possible for nature to improve on nature. I only had my mobile phone with me, but it didn't do a bad job. And when I got home I couldn't resist adding a link to the car windscreen. Maybe I will turn it into a new header for the Blog.

It's a perfect blog header, Alan.

They both are wonderful. The frost one is magical as it creates all the crystal like designs.

I'm hoping for a mild winter this year

Nicely captured, Alan. And, a great shot for a new header.

Hello Alan:
A heavy frost does make everything look so very magical. Your fern image is so pretty and the icy script looks a perfect idea for a wintry header!!

Great header idea, Alan...I love your inspirations. It snowed here yesterday and I too was looking at frosty ferns, which I found oddly resembled starfish. Didn't get a photo though. Maybe today!

So cool! (literally) It looks like the surface of a chenille bedspread.

It does look pretty darn cool, but you guys can keep your snow.
We're supposed to be up to 70 today here in Oklahoma, but I suspect we will pay dearly come summer.

Another vote here for the proposed new header.

And yet another vote for the (maybe?) new header. You could at least use it for the Winter months, The frosty fern is a magnificent shot!

This is the first time I've stopped by your blog. Thanks for stopping by mine. I'm sure I'll be back.

Nicely captured. It always looks so pretty; it’s a pity it has to be so cold before it can be created. I really don’t miss that.

Great photos! The wind shield shot would make an awesome header.
But wait a minute! Cold? It's minus 28 here tonight and getting colder. No pretty pictures here. It's a very dry cold.

I so agree too, what a cool idea! Funny how one simple photo taken randomly can later become something so special!
