    More Cold Ahead

    Frost in Rolland Moore Park

    I took this image this past Monday around 10:00 am. I was standing in the parking lot of the Senior Center and looking out over the south edges of Rowland Moore park. When I awoke we had fog and this heavy frost settling in on everything. Quite interesting to watch the frost form on the trees. Nature sure does know how to create some wonderful scenes and with a purpose behind them.

    It’s going to be cold the next 4-5 days, getting down to zero on Sunday night. Looks like winter is not ready to let go or spring is not yet to make it’s appearance. When looking at the national weather it looks like that is true for much of our nation.

    Now typing this on a new MacBook Pro. I will write about the purchase a bit later as I get more familiar with it. When I looked up the receipt for my old MacBook, the purchase date was November of 2008. It paid for itself. I’m expecting this one to do the same! Now with this purchase you should see a slight improvement in my photography. 🙂

    “Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.”

    Zen Proverb

    Frost is on everything. Temperature gauge on my dashboard says 7 degrees  (F). Makes for cold toes. We are expecting similar nighttime lows for the next 5 days. Stay warm!

    Frost Crystals

    Frost on the Car Window

    Had an interesting conversation with my grandson yesterday morning. We had a beautiful frost overnight leaving these large crystals all over the car. I told him to check them out as they were just gorgeous. He looked then stated he thought I was the only one who would notice something like that. He may be close as there may not bee that many people who look at frost as I do. It could be my age is giving me more respect for the constant art of nature. Or it could be walking around with a camera in my hand has helped me to pay more attention to our world.

    Hoar Frost and Fence

    This is the same fence as this image only under different weather conditions. The temperature was 15 degrees for this image and minus 5 in the other image. Both taken around the same time of day. It is a good example of how different the mood and colors of a scene can change when the weather is different. And let me tell you, the light breeze at my back when taking this image made it feel just as cold as the other image.

    Unnoticed

    Frost Covered Grass

    On December 8, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared: “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – (is) a date which will live in infamy.” He was referring to the Japanese surprise attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, the attack that catapulted the United States into the Second World War. As momentous as the attack on Pearl Harbor was, December 7, 1941 was also the date of another event of no less consequence for mankind. The first transports set out for the first extermination camp, Chelmno, which began its murderous operations the following day, December 8.

    There are some who will brave the cold to see this hoar frost covered grass. And, some will not experience this frost covered grass but be reading an article about Tebow’s latest win. Interesting how some events receive a lot of attention while others go by almost unnoticed.
