What birders go through : )
Delicate hoar frost
The wonder of hoar frost
Ice crystals on Prairie Crocus
Brrr ... shiver
Prairie Crocuses covered in water droplets
Snow with a touch of hoar frost
A delicate touch of hoar frost
Diamond-studded
Early morning fog and hoar frost
Frosted Cattails
A frosty view from Frank Lake blind
A foggy, frosty sunrise
Through the frost to the bird blind
A touch of frost
Outlined in frost
Reflection through the fog
Remembering a cold, frosty bird count
The difference a week makes
Ice crystals on a mountain top
Frosted grasses
Winter wonderland on Plateau Mountain
Delicate hoarfrost
Driving in a winter wonderland
A curtain of hoar frost
Frosty fence and fields
Hoar frost on barbed-wire
Hoar frost everywhere you look
Walking in a winter wonderland
Frosty old Chevrolet truck
Merlin male, back view
Cold and damp - but so beautiful
Not easy being a birder or photographer : )
Let the melting begin
Fog is not good for birding
A touch of winter beauty
Delicate winter beauty
Frosted snow
Transformation
: )
Here today, gone tomorrow
Frozen lace
Ice is nice
Fragile frost formation
Winter magic down by the creek
Wolf Willow/Silverberry / Elaeagnus commutata
It's that time of the year, brrr .....
Delicate on blue
Who needs lace curtains?
Winter magic
Frosted
Crystal edging
Mini-icicle
Winter magic
Fire and ice
Early morning ice crystals
Ice angles
Frost fringe
Barbed-wire in disguise
Living in a white world
Like miniature pine trees
Cool, but cold
Feathers of ice
The frozen path
Frosted Burdock
Transformation
A beautiful ending
Are you ready for spring?
Frosted
Magical
Like gazing through a window
The other side of the fence
Edged in ice
Fringed in frost
Winter coating
Frosted
Crystalized leaf
Icy fingers

Hoar frost
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! Hope you are feeling really good this morning, if you were celebrating into the wee hours!
I want to wish my family and each and every one of my "local" friends, my long-time overseas friends, and my Flickr friends a very happy, healthy and safe New Year! It's hard to believe, isn't it, that 15 years have passed since all the fuss about the year 2000? Thank you all for your friendship and encouragement, and for letting me share my photos with you - SO much appreciated! I'm looking forward to another year of seeing where you have been and what beautiful things you have discovered!
This photo was taken on 16 December 2014, during the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the town of High River. It was such a glorious hoar frost that day, lasting for most of the day. The delicate crystals can form quite densely on branches, almost looking like snow.
"Under clear frosty nights in winter soft ice crystals might form on vegetation or any object that has been chilled below freezing point by radiation cooling. This deposit of ice crystals is known as hoar frost and may sometimes be so thick that it might look like snow. The interlocking ice crystals become attached to branches of trees, leafs, hedgerows and grass blades and are one of the most prominent features of a typical 'winter wonderland' day. However, the fine 'feathers', 'needles' and 'spines' might also be found on any other object that is exposed to supersaturated air below freezing temperature.
The relative humidity in supersaturated air is greater then 100% and the formation of hoar frost is similar to the formation of dew with the difference that the temperature of the object on which the hoar frost forms is well below 0°C, whereas this is not the case with dew. Hoar frost crystals often form initially on the tips of plants or other objects."
