I woke this morning to a beautiful winter wonderland. The whole world was still and covered in giant frost crystals.
The magnolia tree was covered.
So was the crabapple tree.
The evergreen bushes were also looking beautiful in their white covering.
Even the bird feeders and the shepard’s hook had little crystals spiking from them.
My favorite, however, is what it does to the fences.
What an amazing sight!
Don’t forget I am giving away a copy of my novel that was just published. You can click the book cover in my sidebar to enter.

really, really awesome!

I love when we get this thick foggy frosty weather! Of course, it would have been better if I had gotten to stay home and take more pictures.
Mar 07, 2013 @ 13:48:55
I really love the chicken wire all frosted up, too cool!!
We don’t get that kind of frost here, I guess there isn’t enough moisture.
Mar 07, 2013 @ 13:54:02
Warm and cold. It’s frozen fog. I love when this happens because it means there is no wind and it’s perfect silent white beauty.
Mar 07, 2013 @ 13:49:06
WOW! That is really cool looking! It’s super warm here in WI. Did all your frost melt?
Mar 07, 2013 @ 13:54:37
The sun broke through the fog, and it was all melted within a short time. It was beautiful while it lasted though.
Mar 07, 2013 @ 14:22:14
This is just beautiful!! That first one is my absolute favorite, but they’re all so pretty. We don’t have anything like that around here, and I’m just amazed every time I see it!
Mar 07, 2013 @ 14:28:38
It’s not often we get it, but when we do it is just magical!
Mar 07, 2013 @ 15:04:39
Great photos, pretty to look.

Thanks so much! It really was beautiful this morning.
Mar 07, 2013 @ 15:07:52
Such magnificent photographs of Jack Frost. I can’t even imagine how you can capture the magic of snow so perfectly. I think you might carry a bit of magic dust behind your lens. Beautiful.

Thank you. I really was rushed to try and take pictures before I left this morning. There wasn’t a lot of thought in these pictures.

Mar 07, 2013 @ 17:17:19

Hey, I didn’t know you authored a book! Where have I been? I will check it out! -Tammy
Mar 07, 2013 @ 19:32:53
The book is brand new! I love when I have the chance to photograph the hoarfrost. Unfortunately, I had to rush to work this morning.
Mar 07, 2013 @ 19:57:38
This is a winter wonderland for me! I’ve never seen a hoar frost – we don’t even get snow where I live!!
Wonderful images – I can see how snowflakes are made now!!

Ooo, you are sooo right…the fences are magical! It’s like the snow is a little artist making snow sculptures! Love it!
Mar 07, 2013 @ 22:15:06
Mother Nature is a wonderful artist!

I love hoar frost — we’ve had quite a bit of it this winter, but nothing like what you have in your photos, Teresa! Gorgeous!
If you don’t mind — I’m going to post a link to your giveaway in my sidebar. It’s the least I can do after you were such a good sport about my book post this week. Lol.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 06:51:14
I certainly do appreciate it! This is the first time this year we’ve had such a frost. It is beautiful!
Mar 08, 2013 @ 08:15:00
Stunning photos. I do love the snow on the fences…only mother nature can do that kind of artwork!
Mar 08, 2013 @ 08:27:38
And she is a very talented artist!
Mar 08, 2013 @ 09:19:39
Beautiful pictures!
Mar 08, 2013 @ 09:28:47
Thanks, Ellen. It was a wonderful sight to wake up to.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 09:28:45
awesome shots. i’m trying to figure out what soaps to try – so many choices. any suggestions for you – since you make them all?? ( :
Mar 08, 2013 @ 09:31:22
Thanks, Beth. Soaps really are very personal. If you like fragrances, there’s lilac or Beach Breezes that are quite popular. If you want gentle and good for the skin, I’d recommend Oatmeal Honey, Calendula Honey or Calendula. The Cornmeal Lemongrass is good for exfoliating and grime.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 16:00:37
wonderful images. there is magic in winter. thanks for sharing – will go visit your book now. congratulations on it
Mar 08, 2013 @ 16:44:44

Mar 08, 2013 @ 16:45:07
Magnificent!! I’ve never seen hoar frost but it looks magical.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 16:46:14
It really is magical. With no wind and the fog, it’s silent and beautiful.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 17:57:49
Gorgeous. That first shot is amazing.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 18:13:36
Thanks! It really was a beautiful sight to wake up to.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 22:28:16
I hope those frost won;t hurt the buds!
Mar 08, 2013 @ 22:44:48
Me too. It’s really too early for them to be budding.
Mar 10, 2013 @ 04:49:57
Wonderful pictures – especially on a very hot night!
