It was a confluence of meteorological events, a sunny and calm, foggy, frosty day. One we have never seen in this combination. My husband and I were headed out to our daughter’s house, IPhone in hand, but we stopped along the way to take in the scenes.
A pine tree in its frosty spendor looked cold.
A stop by the park was in order on such a day. The sunlight on the frost-laden trees gave importance to every twig against the blue sky.
The white trunk of a birch glowed in the glorious sunlight.
This maple tree had a foggy backdrop.
A tree-lined street invited a photograph and a walk.
We may never see this combination of events again but the natural beauty was committed to memory and much appreciated.
Those are so pretty, especially the final photo.
ReplyDeleteIt’s my favourite too AC.
DeleteI would not mind walking on that street and stop often to photograph.
ReplyDelete:)
I’d like to go with you Catarina.
DeleteNot just committed to memory but preserved in pictures and shared with people like me who admire it, too. Thank you for this delightful post. I especially love the last picture. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is great to take you along, Jan, even if only through Blogger.
DeleteAs beautiful as it is, this girl is simply not hardy enough to manage your winters. You are a better woman than I. Great pics as usual♥
ReplyDeleteI believe it is all a matter of what you are accustomed to Linda. I couldn’t manage the heat where you live!
DeleteThat last shot is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debra. It was a magical few minutes.
DeleteWow so beautiful but it looks soooooooo cold! That tree-lined street is worth framing it is stunning. Keep warm and have a good Easter. Diane
ReplyDeleteHoarfrost is the term, if I'm not mistaken. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed William. I debated using the term in the title.
DeleteBeautiful! We have had fog and hoard frost a few times recently too, I love hoar frost and always try to stop for some photos.
ReplyDeleteThat frost is rare and beautiful. Worth a look any time it appears, that’s for sure.
DeleteAmazing. From beautiful dark blue to misty Gray. Beautiful but unusual day.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed Barbara. Pretty and special.
DeleteWhat an absolutely GLORIOUS day. Thank you so much for taking us along to share a smidgeon of the wonder and the beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed EC. You’re welcome.
DeleteSimply beautiful, Marie. They're all my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. I love each of them too.
DeleteMarie, your tree photos are so wonderful. That frost and mist makes for great photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb. I enjoy your photos as well!
DeleteMagnificent trees, thank you for putting them for us to see.
ReplyDeleteThey are magnificent dressed in the frost, Celia.
Deletewow, wow, wow, they are all stunning but that last one really does belong in a frame!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie. I think I will frame the last one.
DeleteSimply beautiful pictures, Marie! Andrea
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea.
DeleteHow gorgeous! Committed to memory -- and to camera, lucky for us :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a soecial morning, Jenny.
DeleteSpectacular scenery, you may wait a long time for those meteorological conditions to coincide again. I saw something like it once but on a day with no snow, just thick frost on every twig.
ReplyDeleteIt is rare indeed John.
DeleteSo pretty! I especially love the tree-lined street.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cold and beautiful, Mildred.
DeleteI just came in from a lovely 72 degree day ... only to be transported to your frozen scenes. All on the same continent but so different. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour weather sounds wonderful to me, Ginnie.
DeleteAbsolutely unforgettable, Marie! We had one such day on December 30, 2016, and from one of those images I made our Christmas card for this past Christmas. So I know exactly what you mean. I wonder if I'll ever see anything like it again. I'm so glad YOU saw it, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is glorious, isn’t it, Ginnie?
DeleteGorgeous winter images Marie but oh my gosh, that last shot is a stunner, j'adore!
ReplyDeleteThat street shot was special to experience, PDP.
DeleteThe pictures are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Danielle.
DeleteWow that looks wonderful, how lucky you were to see that for real! I had to smile at the clear road it wouldn't look like that if we had that snowfall here! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIt’s a way of life here, Sarah, so we are organized around the snow.
