The Pacific Northwest wasn't immune to last week's arctic blast. A week ago Thursday, I awoke to an ice-covered front yard.
Although still home recovering from foot surgery, I couldn't resist grabbing my camera and hobbling outside.
Still-warm ground quickly melted it's icy crust. But on vegetation, the frozen droplets clung quite nicely.
My rhodie bushes sported tiny, thin icicles.
The few roses left were encased in a glittering, frosty shell.
After sitting idle for two weeks, it felt great to get out and capture some images. Sniff....I miss hiking already. Can't wait until my foot is healed and I can get back on the trail.

ReplyDeleteYou certainly found the beauty, Linda, and thank you so much for capturing and sharing it here!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful, but it looks a bit too much like winter...just like here in Wisconsin! It has been too icy to walk here...hope the weather and your foot improve quickly!
