A Cold Blanket of White Frost

I took these images after leaving the coffee shop and heading to the transit center to catch the bus home yesterday. The sun was warming things up and much of the cold white blanket of frost was melting away. But not to worry because there is the promise of its return. I loved the patterns of the sunlight and shadows at the CSU Oval and felt the calling to walk among them. I soaked up the warm sunshine as I stood in it’s rays then felt the coolness when I stepped into the shadows. So shadows seemed to be the theme but there is always the need to post a few images of the white ice crystals clinging to those fallen leaves. You can click on the images below to see a larger image and slideshow.

This morning is crisp with no frost and a magnificent cloudless sky. My drive to meet Eric for coffee was directly into that bright sun. So I’ve done a bit of squinting. Have a wonderful weekend!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I love the leaves, of course. But my favorite of this collection in the second, the trees. It’s a wintry scene, even without a foot of snow.

    The parallel lines of frost in the tree shadows and the grass make a fascinating visual for me. Lovely and stirring,

      Yes, the parallel lines and the frost were what called me to that scene but as someone mentioned in another post we need to be there and listen. I’m learning to listen more. Hope you’ve had a good weekend!
