Frost fantasies

 

 

After a clear night and a low of 5º F there were some pretty frost subjects available this morning.

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Snowy morning along the river

A sudden storm yesterday, forecast to leave a half inch of snow, left a little more than that. Photo is of the Clark Fork of the Columbia River in northwestern Montana.

Flathead Lake just before winter

Flathead Lake is located in northwest Montana just south of Glacier National Park. It is 192 square miles in size.

A little snow banding as winter approaches.

Just a glimmer of pink

A few days ago, near the end of my driveway, I noticed just a slight glimmer of pink hugging the ground, nearly imperceptible from a distance of six feet. I thought of it today and looked at it a little closer, from a few inches, and through a lens. The flecks of pink are flower buds of Stork’s Bill (Erodium cicutarium) daring to bloom right on the very edge of winter.

Mid-November snow
