Frosty Morning

This morning is a morning of freezing fog. The trees are all decked out in a crisp white coat of hoarfrost, and little pieces of it are still falling. The fog has yet to lift or be burned off, so I'm hoping that I have a little while here to write some blogs before the sun comes out! Once the sun is out, the frost melts pretty quickly and everything goes back to normal. For the moment though, it's a magical world out there, just begging to be walked in and photographed! It's funny how a bit of frost makes everything appear beautiful, even a chainlink fence, even a bicycle rack, even the scrawniest bushes... A bit of frosty coating and all is elegant and gorgeous!


The other thing I've noticed... a long time ago actually, is that everything looks beautiful when it is backlit by the sun and appears as a silhouette. The most deformed tree in full light, looks exotic and gorgeous when backlit by the sun. All the imperfections and the strange shapes blend into something artistsic and abstract. Sort of like us and God. When we're backlit by the divine, we look pretty good! If we were to look at everyone and everything against the backdrop of God... we might have a different view of the world...
