Pictures for Pam, Day 84: HFF: Frosty Barbed Wire Fencing
(+2 insets!)
Oh my, it’s really cooling down around here! I stepped out to a thermometer which read 29 degrees—wow! But paired with the freezing weather, the world was gleaming with brilliant sunshine this morning. My poor toes did NOT appreciate me crunching up and down our road today, but that’s what heaters are for afterwards! :)
On my first trip down to the gate I couldn’t help checking in on the sporophyte villages that live at the tops of each of the brick posts which hold our gate. Clumps of moss are scattered here and there on the tops and sides of the bricks and most clumps have many cool sporophytes to see. In fact, some of my finest sporophyte images come from the villagers who live here so I love peeking at them from time to time to say hello and see how they are doing.
Staring nose-close, I found a marvelous frost formation next to a pair of aged sporophytes and pulled back, my internal arguments flaring. “It’s too cold!” “That’s a special sight, it needs to be photographed!” “My fingers will freeze!” *rumblings from my toes below* “Hey, what about us? We’re already frozen!” “When will I see a frost formation like that again?” Silence in my mind and then, “Yeah, it’s true. We need to take a picture of that.”
At the top of the hill I saw that the fog cloaking the Table Rocks was especially beautiful, with a sheen of gold lighting up the fog and warming the valley’s sides. I couldn’t resist marching to the top of the hill for a few phone snaps before getting my camera and making my way back down to the gate.
After many photos of the “frost bush” next to the sporophytes, I glanced down into the weeds next to the gate. There was a coil of old, rusty barbed wire fencing that had been sitting abandoned, since long before we moved here. I’d been meaning to try for some frost pictures and as I was right there, I took the opportunity to photograph that too.
Not long after, the painful bite from the merciless cold forced me to stop and I trudged back to the house to return my camera and continue for a few more laps of exercise.
I was really happy to discover that I got a nice picture of the “frost bush” and also some really neat barbed wire pictures too. This being the day that I put up a picture for Happy Fence Friday, it was excellent timing for posting an image that I took today! (You can see insets of the frost “bush” and also an atmospheric picture of our fence and mail box I got a couple of days ago.)
Pam, do you guys hate barbed wire as much as we do? When we got here there was barbed wire strung up everywhere. It’s taken me a long time but I’ve got it all removed. Every once in a while, though, I’ll find stray strands here and there or an abandoned coil. It’s awful. The only thing I like about barbed wire is the cool pictures it can produce. Meh! I hope you are having a nice day! *HUGZZZZ!*

HFF to you.
RUST AND FROST... BEAUTIFUL
Admired in:
www.ipernity.com/group/tolerance
Here the last Monday's 5℉= -15℃ compared to today's 20℉= -7℃ feels quite warm and comfy =)
... there are probably engineering scientists who specialize in how to most efficiently coil and twist and manufacture barbed wire; it is actually pretty interesting to examine minutely ... where I grew up, in Appalachia, (only we didn't know it then, until President Johnson's guys told us), we called it bob-wire ... nonetheless, frost the tips and you have made an artform of it ...
... the frost crystals in the first PiP are marvelous; and so is your presentation thereof ...
... temperature report for piedmont Central Maryland: last night "0" F (-18C) ...
tonight 8F (-13C)
I am burning well-dried oak in both my woodstoves, and I have made an artform out of that ...
It's Cool? – Be happy that you don't live in Chicago! I've seen in the news that they use to have around -13°F (-25°C) now! :-)
HFF!
HFF and a nice weekend.
HANWE

Peter
de très haute qualité photographique,
de belle composition et de belle présentation..
bravO Janet
bonne fin de semaine
A belated HFF to you!
a wonderful photo with wonderful PiPs...I hope you´ll stand the cold and everything it causes..HFF and warm wishes for this weekend!
Der rostige Stacheldraht und die Eiskristalle sind eine gute Kombination in diesem fantastischen Makro. Auch die PiPs sind ausgezeichnet. Der Stacheldraht ist ganz schön frech! Sehe ich da einen gehobenen Mittelfinger? ;-)
Well, first I saw a rusty hand with one finger up.... ;-)
Belated HFF!
And the thematic message? At least to me: cold, dark, possibly painful, created with a certain kind of effort.
A late HFF.
