Frosted

I barely came to a halt to take this quick shot of (Brome?) grass covered in hoar frost the other day, but just had to try : ) Sometimes, birders keep walking at a steady pace and I get can easily get left behind if I stop to photograph something I want to shoot. The ice crystals have always completely melted by the time we have walked for three hours - but I never seem to get up early enough to get out there on my own to catch the frost, LOL. To those of you who never get snow or frost, it must be difficult to imagine everything around you covered in such ice crystals - so very beautiful. This was photographed at Carburn Park on December 11th. The background is the Bow River.
