Snowflakes and Ice Crystals

gently resting

snowflakes

 

emerging

from the underground

 

winter garland

for the

Queen of the Fairies

behold 

forest treasures

crystals

lichen

and 

winter blue light

~

it has been a super cold winter

i believe we have had 6 deep cold spells with nights 

in the minus 17F to -28F

(-27C to -34C)

makes for clear blue skied mornings

(at times)

that freeze ones checks in mere moments

 

I think of it as a sincere winter
