February 8


A Fairyland. That's how a friend described how it looked outside this morning. Today was a workday for me and I had no plans to take photos of the Towpath. Kay and I had been in the front yard at about 7:00am, watching the international Space Station go orbiting by. We notice that the trees in the yard and in the woods down the street were covered with a beautiful frosting. Kay said she would go to some sections of the towpath to photograph the beautiful frost that had been caused when the fog rolled in and then froze on the branches and twigs of the trees. I got ready for work but at the last minute I decided to drive also to where ever Kay's first stop would be. We wound up at Lake Street, mainly because the parking lot affords a panoramic view. It looked like some sort of magical kingdom, and of course we were snapping photos like gangbusters. Looking to the East, we could see the sun behind the frosty trees. A wooden walkway between the trees made for a beautiful scene. I stayed for about 20 minutes, then headed to work, very reluctantly. Kay made a few more stops, and got, of course some great bird photos.

20's, foggy and frosty

Magic fairyland
Created when fog meets cold
Elusive, fleeting
