~ 84 ~ Walk With Me in the Hoarfrost This Morning (Nova Scotia, Canada)

in #walkwithme7 years ago

The second display so far this winter...

And I did not want to go outside, it was bloody freezing, yet I had to because it was so beautiful I knew I would regret it if I didn't.

The photos don't really do it justice, I'll tell you, every single deciduous tree was covered in angelic white ice crystals, a phenomenon that only happens rarely.

In real life, the white was so bright shining through the forest...it was pure magic.

In the background it looks like there could be smoke or something, but it's the shining of all of the frosted trees which is making the background all white.

Let's see some close-ups...

Magical pictures babe. I just love winter scenes.
Kudos to you for going out in the freezing cold, absolutely worth it.
Awesome.

Thanks TP, and I can't wait to hear all about your going ons this weekend! Hehehe!!

I'm still hungover..........BAD! 😖😫💩

The beauty of your pictures never ceases to amaze me. The ice just makes everything look especially stunning and your pictures capture it perfectly! I can almost imagine my fingers freezing to the keyboard as I type :D

I'm so glad you braved the cold and made it out to take some shots. One things for sure it may be cold, but you've brightened my day in doing so. Thank you @lyndsaybowes

Thank you PerceptualFlaws!! I'm not much of a morning person, so it was an extra shock that I got out there :) How bout you, do you like mornings? Or more of a night owl?

Well I'm very glad you did :) .. I'm really trying to make myself a morning person but late evening is the only time I get to write. Hence I stay up far too late and then sleep as long as I can get away with! I'm beginning to look like a panda lol so I'm thinking earlier night then up early for some writing? Although best laid plans and all that! :D

I can definitely relate. If it weren't for the kids, I'd never see early morning.

Oh this all looks so lovely. But you know what, it looks even lovelier seeing it here on my screen whilst outside here we are getting rain GLORIOUS rain! (I'm a wretch to boast about that, I know)

After your last post about ice returning I have got up each morning with trepadation, peeping my little gaze out my bedroom curtain to view one of our "rhody barometers" expecting to see them curled up tight, afraid of the cold frigid air. But, alas, no they are open and covered in soft rain.

I am sure we are not out of the woods, though, as they say (THEY are always SAYING something, aren't they?) that we do have some snow coming. But, until I see it falling or notice the inward curve of the rhody leaves, I am going to live in blissful ignorance that Spring is early and snow is gone for good this Winter and the sun will shine and unicorns will bring me tea in bed...well maybe the last bit is a stretch.

The tracery of ice and white in your landscape is breathtaking though, so beautiful. And your chickens seem to not be phased at all. Mine, this morning, were sad little darlings, as they wanted to go into their run and when I went later, the little buggers were still out and they looked as if someone had dumped a bucket of water on their head. I think they are just so happy to have the nice warm rain and NOT cold frozen ground, they are thumbing their noses (see beak ) at it and basking in the damp warmth.

Well, here I go again, another long letter in your comments. When will I learn to type less...never that's the answer to that question. You and I both know that . :)

Thank you for sharing your warm weather with us Donna :) We were +8 today, with a beautiful light rain falling at times, and then mist/fog rolling from the hills. It's going to be short lived though unfortunately. I'm glad you, your feathered family and the rhodys are all unfurled and warm :) Chickens have such bad hair days in the rain hey? Poor little things...

I know, they look so bedraggled, especially our one polish hen, Mag Wildwood (from Breakfast at Tiffany's). Isn't it fun naming chickens!

Now I see we are to have snow over the next two days. I guess it still IS Winter after all.

I know right haha, the ones with the poofy afros suffer the worst in the rain, wretched little things...

Winter is still coming eh? Damn.

This is Snow White, the type of winter I see in books and watch in films. Coated with snow, these deciduous trees belong in fairy tales

The highway for way-farers
The winter trees apparelled
in snowy flaky crystals
They are like the fairyland
Where only fairies dare to thread

Thank you Lindsey for sharing this. Have a wonderful Sunday.

You're welcome, and thank you too for sharing this original prose with me :) You're such a talented woman Edith! xoxo

Thank you so much for the compliment, it matters most to me.

You're one of the few persons at steemit, who really share quality and real STUFF regarding NATURE. And come out with Natural Stuff here is not a JOKE.
If someone take some pictures and just post them by calling NATURE is not the way. There must be some explanation regarding the material which you're going to post. So the person who have complete knowledge and interest about these things can do the true job.
And I'm happy that @lyndsaybowes you're doing great efforts in this regard.
I love your homeland, your pictures give me lot of energy and I feel positivity.
By the way all the hens are so cute. My mom has the same hobby. She has almost 50+ hens in her place.
Keep sharing love, beauty and positivity for the betterment of this awesome community.
All the best and Stay Blessed!

Aww, bless your Mom and her feathered flock :) I'm glad you get to have fresh eggs! Nothing beats it. I'm also really blushing that you like my photography so much, and you can feel good energy coming from our Natural surroundings here. Thank you @jawad09, it means a lot.

I imagine the magic ice spread over my black hat among these trees and wish I was there

I wish you were here too because that would make an excellent photo!

this one makes me feel that somebody scattered a ton of flour over the fores

That certainly paints an image! Thanks for sharing your thought with me Mr. Dreamer :)

HA #chickenbitches all with their butts in the air.
Very pretty frost - but I'm glad I'm inside. Brrrr!

Your lovely godchickens all send their fluffy-butted regards to you Angel Phe!

GREAT frosty pics - one of my favorite subjects. I took this a few years ago at a hot spring near where we used to live...

That is absolutely magical...like a scene from The Dark Crystal which should have been in the movie, but wasn't!

The hot springs are pretty magical. Idaho is just covered with them, and we have put our butts in most of them lol! You have any on your island?
