Day Eighteen


I stepped out late this morning. It's a fairly gloomy day, gray skies, crunchy icy ground. I noticed that there was a layer of frost on just about everything. No more snow yet, just frost. Have you ever really looked at frost? Up close? In detail? It makes neat little patterns, looks like tiny shards of glass strewn about. Some of the plants looked like they had little razor blades lining their edges sticking outward.

  4. It does look like shards of glass - or maybe a snowflake that crashed into the plant. :) Good eye!

    It was 100 Fahrenheit/38 Celsius here yesterday, I hope that warms you up.

  8. Doesn't an interest in photography make you see things in a completely different way? This is awesome detail and a lovely shot. Very well done!

  9. The frost is trying to tell us a story...I also thought it looked a bit like a swords sheath. The distant diagonals are very nice too.
