hoarfrost:

frozen dew that forms a white coating on a surface.

i'm at the cabin for a week.  at about the half way mark on my drive

up north, the whole countryside was frosted in white. 

the technical term for this is hoarfrost.

it was so pretty~ i just had to pull over and dig around for my camera.

the frost, coupled with the low lying ground fog made for some

gorgeous scenery.

there is a looooong gravel road that leads into our place and 

now i've turned onto it and i'm almost there.

everywhere i looked, it was beautiful.

magical,

picturesque.

the cattle ranchers up north all have donkeys. there are many

wolves in our area that kill their cattle and the donkeys protect the

cattle. isn't that cool? they may be small, but they are mighty.

the way the animal kingdom works is amazing.

(we have our own nativity scene right down the road)  :  )

this is my favorite of all the frosty tree photos~

the lodge~ i'm there

wood from this big pile is keeping me warm while i type away here in my

big chair, a brown dog by my feet.

hope you have a great day,

xo, beth
