in the kingdom of Nature."
Yesterday, the blustery winds brought with them
the first snow. Big flakes, mixed with rain, fell to
the ground creating, only for a brief moment,
a world of white.
And another first was the heavy frost that blanketed
the landscape overnight. Such a beautiful vision, that
I could not resist sharing a glimpse...
"Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare.
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent and soft and slow
Descends the snow."
-Longfellow

whoa! what gorgeous photos!! just stunning. Ah, it's 70 degrees here, but we do expect rain this weekend. :-)
Thanks for sharing the beauty of your first frost!
Oh, this has me wanting to touch and hold and take photos and do all manner of things I would not have dreamed of, if you hadn't shared these glorious images. . It makes me think of Tennyson's 'Morte d'Arthur': "rain and hail and snow". I am glad you were well enough to go outside.
wonderful!
beautiful photos... it looks more like a dusting of sugar than snow!
I haven't been around much lately... Your last two posts are just lovely...
