13 days and still Gaia is blanketed by white
The earth refuses to give up her cover and allow spring’s flowers to stretch and bloom
Early March snows melt quickly creating vignettes that are etched into my mind
But still I count down the days until spring
A glass of wine, winter boots and my daily pilgrimage into the gardens.
These past few weeks the Arctic’s cold breath has ended with a whisper of southern warmth.
Winter’s white morphs into a glass encased landscape.
I take care not to slip and spill my wine…
I knew by the meteorological events of the night that along the stream bed the Sprites had come out to dance and fly and leave behind a glimpse of their magic. What they left behind grew exponentially as Mother Gaia’s warm breath met the cold night air.
I couldn’t contain myself, at every step a new and wonderous creation appeared.
One photograph than two, each bringing clarity to the formations of ice.
I hope you take a moment to look through that which we have shared. You will make the Sprites smile tonight!
If you are interested What is hore frost? and why is it called that?
There are several different kinds of frost. One of them is hoar-frost, also known as radiation frost, hoarfrost, or pruina. This refers to interlocking arrangement of white ice crystals that are deposited loosely on the ground or any exposed object forming on very cold nights whenever heat is lost into the sky causing objects to become colder than the air that surrounds it.
