1 picture above in a note! :) I looked out into the meadow this morning and saw the frosty mist rising up around the lone Oak there. Even though I have taken pictures of this tree in the mist before, I thought it would be wonderful to have a picture where it has snow on its branches and very few leaves! :) (roll your mouse over the image above to see the other misty Oak picture I posted a while ago!)

[best appreciated at full size against black] Yet another ordinary object turned into something very special with the addition of frost! Why, this hose has extremely fancy hair now, don't you think?! :D What fun! By the way, one of the images I showed yesterday was an abstract of frost on our green water tank. This is another view of that tank with the hose coming of the side! This image was taken in December, 2011.

Dried seed pods on a winter day against a beautiful, blue sky. Even Steve has commented on how interesting these look! :) This image was taken in December 2011.

I had a lot of fun taking pictures of things covered with frost. What may seem plain and boring can suddenly be transformed to something magical when covered with water in any form! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) This image was taken in December 2011.

Got up late today and it was raining, but after lunch the rain stopped long enough that I could bounce outside and find something pretty to photograph. I hoped to find droplets of water clinging to the thorns of a blackberry bush, but I couldn't find any. However, as I was looking around, I saw this leaf with light glowing through it, and it took my breath away! I hope you like it too! Heinrich Heine (13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was one of the most significant German poets of the 19th century. He was also a journalist, essayist, and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose is distinguished by its satirical wit and irony. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities. Heine spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris. Wikipedia: Heinrich Heine
