A Frosty Morning

We had heavy frost this morning. Before the sun burned it away, I got out and snapped a few pictures.

Frost like this still strikes me as something of a wonder. We never saw it in Ecuador, where I grew up, except  at altitudes above 12,000 feet (about 3,650 meters;) in Ecuador, that's above
most human habitation. Even after almost 40 years back in this country, I still see it as something special, worth a second look. I'm sometimes reminded of Job 38:29b, "Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens...?" (NIV.)

 Enjoy!

Grass and small clover beside the street.
Yews are among my favorite subjects for bonsai.
This Austrian pine is in-ground to build trunk girth.

    Thanks, Ian. Your pics have inspired me to get the camera out a little more often! :)
