There was dense fog yesterday, so the sun didn't even melt away the frost.
Icicles on cobwebs? I've not seen that here before!
The frost emphasises natural shapes with an eerie beauty.

When I arrived to pick him up he and his friends were playing basketball. With no coats on, just tee shirts and jeans.
Teenagers must have different thermostats to the rest of us.

Those photos are breathtaking, Dorothy! I love the one of the leaves. What a contrast between the green & the white. So pretty!
Oh, Dorothy, these are amazing photos. Gorgeous.
I like your new blog look too. I am so ready to have something new.....that will teach me to switch for a day or two.... LOL
Gorgeous photos and as for teenagers... what do you think they use all that food for? :)
The spider web pic is esp beautiful... I would save that for a future photo contest
I must agree. The pictures are wonderful! Very special. I love the spider webs. It's so unusual to see so much frost while there is still so much green around. Ontario must have looked so dead to you. We drove along the St.Lawrence today until we met Lake Ontario and then continued another hour or so West. It was very cold today - 20below - but clear and sunny. The sun was not enough to take the frost off the trees. The colours here are all browns and dirty yellows, dark rusts and greys. I really must see England in the winter.
BEAUTIFUL photos, Dorothy! I LOVE the one with the leaves!
The landscape really has been strange the last week. Everything is white, but not like after a heavy snowfall. And not glistening like after an ice-storm, like you get in North America. It's more ethereal and ghostly: this frost-bitten world, swirled about in fog. I wish I could do it justice in photos.
Bonni, you have mentioned something I really missed while living in Ontario: green-ness in winter. Yes, everything truly dies back, doesn't it? Even the grass. Here things stay gretty green even under the frost. I even have primroses blooming in my garden! And this spring's daffodills already have shoots.
But when spring comes in Ontario, it comes quickly and you have a wonderful summer to look foward to, as opposed to here, when it rained practically all last summer.{g}
Oh-oh, in truly British fashion, I just launched into a a weather conversation. Sorry.{g}
No worries, Dorothy; in typical Canadian fashion, I too went on about the weather. At least I didn't start off with the well known "Cold 'nuff for ya, eh?"
Your windmill header pic just grabbed me, Dorothy. I can't even intelligently describe why I admire it so much. But I do. And the texture in your new blog template is appealing. Such depth.
Your blog is such a comfortable and safe place to visit. Thank you for sharing your life:)
The frosty cobweb is interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that either. Probably the spiders have all gone wherever they go for winter, (in our homes??) by the time our frosts start.
When we get frost like that in Nevada, I've heard it called "pogonip". I think it's an Indian word. It's so pretty, though, and we don't get frost like that very often so I enjoy it as well.
Gorgeous!
I love your photos! Please tell me that you print some and have them hanging in various places around your house. They are gorgeous.
Stephanie,
I hadn't thought of printing them out and framing them. Thanks for the idea!
Heather, thank you for those very kind words.
Just another comment here about the loveliness of your photos! (Is loveliness a word?)
:)
