Mother Nature puts on a show

Friday night it was foggy after dark.  Because it was cold the next morning our trees looked absolutely amazing.  This is not really unusual for Minnesota.  It happens a couple of times each winter but today's was particularly stunning.  I grabbed a few pictures but of course they do not do justice to the real thing.

The house is behind the big evergreen

East of the driveway and the orchard


Frost on each branch and trig of the tree west of the driveway

If you look closely you can see each longer blade of grass is coated
Of course, by the end of the day the frost was gone.  Much of it fell out of the tree with the gentle breezes and the rest was melted by the little bit of sun that we had.  Still it is fun to see.
