After a very rainy and stormy month of December, New Year’s Eve offered us a little bit of change in that it was dry, still and frosty. It was also foggy; but the frost and no wind was enough to drag me and the camera out for quite a long walk before noon. Not long as in going very far; but as in almost losing track of time getting into frosty photo shooting mood in the park.
Before I got as far as that, and the camera was still in my bag, I heard honking noises in the air above my head. It was a small group of swans seeming in a hurry to flee south.
They needn’t have bothered, really. Today we’re back to rain!

Beautiful hoar frost pictures. It's wet and horrid here.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures! I can see how you could get lost in all that beauty.
ReplyDeletefrilly frosty and oh so pretty, i am shivering a little while staring at them. so glad you got out to grab a few shots to share with us. were these your first shots in the new year? i just saw a post and she said it was her first photo in the new year, i took one a few minutes ago when we went shopping and did not think about it being the first in 2012. I FEEL A POST COMING ON
