It was a cold morning, 33 degrees with the humidity at 89% and clear skies. Perfect time to head out east for Autumn images. Five miles out and I can see the fog shrouded around the trees. My mind is racing to come up with a location to setup and shoot. I turned south on County Road 13 heading for a cattail pond. But, as I get there the fog looks more appealing so I move on farther. It was a good decision. Nature was showing off giving me glimpses of the ghostly trees, frost on the fences and the sun intermittently peaking through the fog. Another good morning to be out.

Looks like a beautiful morning but it’s a little early to think about 33 degrees. Soon, though, soon.

It was a good morning! 🙂

Monte, nice images! It will be a month or so before we hit 33 degrees!

Thanks, Steve. I spent the first 5 minutes scraping frost off the windshield but well worth it for me. Mornings like todays make a hot chocolate even better.

Beautiful, Monte. I love the barbed wire with the frost. I’m not so sure about the cold weather though … though I suppose that is a prerequisite for frost. 😉

It really did not feel that cold but there was no way I was taking off the gloves and coat. 🙂

Just had to stop by and compliment you on the “Frost” photo. Beautiful. The composition is excellent.

Thanks, Cedric. Even though it was a cold I enjoyed it all.

These are two very nice photos, Monte. I love the shallow depth of field on the barbed wire, and the crop on the second one feels just right to me.
I’ve yet to do any cold weather shooting so far this fall – we did the sensible thing and escaped to northern Florida this weekend – but I’ll have a shot at some frost very soon.

This was the coldest morning so far and plenty of humidity to make it feel colder. Invigorating to say the least. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with this fall.
