Finally Frosty!

And I don't mean the ice cream dessert from Wendy's...I mean hoarfrost!
It seems that we've had a lot of hoarfrost this winter being milder, but never on a morning that I had time for pictures. However...on this perfect, blue sky, sunny, Sunday morning...
We had great spikey hoarfrost that lasted for hours!
The detail was difficult to capture with my camera's limited macro ability...but it was awesome!
On some twigs, you couldn't even see the twig for all of the frost...
And on other twigs it was only well coated on the one side...
It sounded like tiny shards of glass falling on the ground, as it melted or the wind blew it off...
And made for a picture perfect day!
It even coated the dead & frozen blades of prairie grass along the road.
Ok...so I finally had a chance to take pics...now, please, please, please...just be Spring already!
