Saturday Snapshot - Frozen Tree

3/12/2016

10 Comments

 
This past Sunday morning, I woke up to a weather alert on my phone that I had never heard of before - freezing fog. I'm still not quite sure what that meant. What I can tell you is that it made the trees absolutely beautiful, coating each branch in white. I was only able to snap one quick picture on my way to church. God did a great job of frosting His creation that morning!

It's beautiful! I forget where you live (forgive me), but in the West we get frozen fog a lot in the winter. We call it Pogonip. My dad used to say Hoar Frost (if you google them, you'll find lots of good pictures) but we would laugh and laugh when he said Hoarfrost. We thought he was being so naughty!!

I live in Michigan. We get plenty of freezing and plenty of fog, but usually not together. I've heard of hoar frost before. I just didn't realize that's what it was! :)

Magnificent picture! I'd never heard of freezing fog, either, until now. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hopefully all the freezing fog, or hoarfrost or what ever it is called is done for the season. We get that too here in Wyoming, but not much this year. It has been very dry. I am ready for spring, warmer days, flowers and maybe a strawberry or two.

Gosh that is a stunning photograph. I thought it was blossom at first.

Thanks, Ginny. It does almost look like blossoms, now that I look at it again. :)

There are certainly some weird weather things out there. I was glad this one turned out so beautiful! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
