 Ah..warmer weather has given us a break from the cold, but it created some interesting morning photos in the transition.

We’ve had two mornings of hoar frost on trees, fences, and the buffalo. It’s burned off when the sun came out, but this type of frost is so unique looking.

It was fun to take pictures of it, although it’s hard to capture the full feeling of the scenery. Besides the unique texture of the ice crystals, it gives the sense of cold, crisp and quiet. Although winter is cold in Kansas, I love the vast variety of visual effects it creates.

Now it has warmed up into the 40s, the snow has melted and life is much more pleasant for people and animals. I’m sure it will change again soon, so we’ll enjoy the weather while it’s mild.
