Frosted backlit leaves.
We had a light dusting of snow combined with frost this morning. The sky cleared in the early morning hours and the temperature dropped to 20ºF (-6.66ºC).
Cranes and geese in a frosty mist.
Frosted links.
Marina’s Incognito Pear tree all cold and frosty.
Snow and frost on the black bamboo.
Off Center & Not Even 
Such a gorgeous morning scene. The cranes in the mist and Marina’s beautiful ( but somewhat bare)pear tree freezing out there. We must make a blanket for it! Wonderful morning photo shots Tim!
Thanks, Holly. Marina’s tree to a tough old pear.
She must be! Will she bloom in the summer?
She will bloom in spring.
Ahhh! I can’t wait to see that! 🍐🍐🍐
It will bloom in late march or early April.
Om looking forward to that!
We are slowly marching toward March with baited breath and anticipation of blossoms when we end our march at the end of March.
When the blossoms burst in March let’s all March down to the burgeoning Pear tree and wait for the Pears to drop.
Beautiful thought, Holly, but that might be a long wait. While the pear tree blooms every spring, it does not always bear pears.
We had pear trees on the farm. Anjou Pears. They were so hard but we picked and ate them anyway. At the end of summer Grandma made delicious pear preserves and jelly.
There seems to be a very short window between when pears are ripe and go bad on the tree.
Yes, we would eat them before they ripened, they were not very juicy or good.
A lot went to the ground overripe after we left. Maybe those were the preserves?
I enjoyed all of these, Tim. The cranes in the frosty mist are my favorite.
Thanks, Lavinia.
You must have been cold out this morning. I enjoy all the images, but the geese and cranes image is especially appreciated.
I had very little snow up here but Brandt sent a pic of a snow-covered tree with quite a bit.
We just had a dusting, and it was cold this morning.
I love frost in the right light (like that first one) and the mist with the birds.
Thanks, Dale. Backlit frost is magical.
A most impressive selection of frosted photographs, here, Tim.
I enjoyed them. Thanks, Sir.
Thanks, Inchcock.
The capture of th ebacklit frozen leaves is nice
Thanks, Harry.
Jack Frost is a great artist.
He sure is. Thanks, Couriers.
Frost is beautiful, and dreamlike the scenery on the 2nd image!
Thanks, Puzzleblume.
The cranes are exquisite against that backdrop. Wonderful images. A touch of frost always makes for beaty
Frost is beautiful lining edges and glistening in the first rays of sunshine. Thanks, Shey.
It is indeed, even though it’s been abso freezing here fro a few weeks and we have had more than our fair share. it is still lovely to look at.
Ah…. beautiful frosty images… and my pear tree, so nicely ‘protected’!
Happy Monday and week ahead, my friend!
She has her space surround by black bamboo and rose bushes.
…and she’s happily nestled there!
Very happy.
Nice impressions of the freezing cold 🙂
Thanks, picpholio.
Oh all of these are beautiful, Tim! Great eye and composition that evoke many memories and experiences…
Thanks, Mary Jo. early morning frost offers lots of opportunities.
The frost is pretty.
Thanks, Teri.
Frosty prettiness!
Thanks, Nancy.
Stay warm, Tim! And keep taking these beautiful photos!
Thanks, Tiffany.
1st pic. Looks like the Peach Tree Portal opened up.
True. Now that you mention it. I’m getting that type cast feeling. Like William Shatner is Captain James T. Kirk no matter what role he plays. Thanks, Jordan.
🙂 You’re welcome. I’ll help you row that boat. Don’t know if we’ll row it ashore, though. I’m always amazed that Star Trek diversified into airline tickets. Well, maybe flight on earth isn’t so conceptually removed from…
We can thank Star Trek for sparking the ideas that have become our ever present communicators, personal electronic dictators, and the Perseverance of the Internet (once connected, always connected). A transporter to move things from one place to another via WiFi would be nice.
Yes, and then Star Trek can thank Nicola Tesla for them having something to steal into Sci-fi so the ideas could get out here to us.
They had to steal it from someone.
Yup. Good poets borrow, and great poets steal. T.S. Eliot had nuthin’ to do with that statement.
Marina’s Incognito Pear looks magical.
The second shot is quite special. It looks like an Impressionist painting.
All gorgeous shots, Tim!
Thanks, Resa. Your tree takes a lot more snow to be Snow White.
Frost sure looks good. As always, you bring the best out in a scene. But the cold scares me….I cannot bear anything lesser than 25 degrees celcius….lol….I’m weird that way….beautiful pics though.
You would be too cold here in winter. Thanks, Ruelha.
I’m sure I would….I’m so glad we don’t have crazy winters here…
Wonderful chilly shots Tim … the bird shot is special
Thanks, Julie.
