Frosted delight
Come and let’s take a walk through my enchanted world.
In the early morning, the freezing temperatures
Create art out of silver beeches
And the hoar-frosted trees frame
The pyramid of the swings at the end of our street.
Once out on the lake, I walk past
An enchanted red boat house
Hiding among frosted branches.
Zooming out with my lens, I see the boat house
Belongs to this summer cottage
Patiently waiting for warmer days.
As for me, I’m enjoying the last cold days
Of magical hoar frost and ice.
For more delights, please visit: Our World.
I love the frost and the little red boat house is a perfect subject with all the white around. Lovely shots.

Great … I love that snowy forest. Wonderful photos!
March 4, 2013 at 15:43
Although, beautiful, I’m sure you are also patiently waiting for Spring’s beauty!
March 4, 2013 at 16:24
beautiful …
March 4, 2013 at 16:26
The frost is gorgeous —and I love the words you choose to describe it. It is definitely a “Frosted Delight”….
Hugs,
Betsy

I was delighted to walk with you in your frost enchanted forest….beautiful photos, and words
March 4, 2013 at 16:39
You do take us on beautiful walks through your photos and words and it is always a delightful, breathtaking way to begin my day! An enchanted forest it is! Thank you for sharing the beauty of your world, Fiona!
March 4, 2013 at 16:54
Such a winter wonderland!
March 4, 2013 at 17:22
Who live there? Beautiful photos.
March 4, 2013 at 17:47
I just love the little “wilderness” of your back yard.
That first photo is especially beguiling – the trees seem to be enticing us to walk down that natural lane between us to see what treasures lay beyond.
Love the little splash of dignified red on that charming wee cottage.
March 4, 2013 at 17:54
lol – natural lane between THEM, not between us. (Where’s an editing feature when you need one?)
March 4, 2013 at 17:55
once again, thank you for sharing your magical frozen wonderland.
March 4, 2013 at 18:12
I would love to go for a walk in such a beautiful place. Awesome shots!
March 4, 2013 at 18:16
i have come to love frigid cold since reading your blog and seeing it so beautifully presented
March 4, 2013 at 18:50
Hello Lady Fi

Winter is a wonderful painter.
I send greetings.

March 4, 2013 at 19:37
Chillingly beautiful! I love every one of these magical photos!
March 4, 2013 at 19:37
Wonderful. I love your snowy landscapes
March 4, 2013 at 20:56
I will be sad when your winter ends, but I’m sure you won’t be. The snow makes for some beautiful photography which you took full advantage of!
March 4, 2013 at 21:33
You have captured the frost perfectly….burr!!
March 4, 2013 at 21:47
Lovely…and cold!!!
March 4, 2013 at 21:55
Such beautiful winter scenes!
Everything looks so very peaceful.
March 4, 2013 at 22:11
That is some frosty world you live in. Made me cold just looking at it but it sure is pretty.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today to read Betsy’s interview
March 4, 2013 at 22:25
I think you must be the Snow Queen because you cast such enchantments with your pictures of snow and ice and hoar-frosted trees!
March 4, 2013 at 22:38
Your photographs are always splendid, no matter which season, but aren’t you just a little bit tired of winter?
I can’t wait to shed a clout or two.
March 4, 2013 at 23:42
Yes, it’s been winter for a long time. But the sun is back and the light – so I’m hopeful of spring in a few weeks… I wouldn’t mind shedding a couple of layers though!

A frosty wonderland. Beautiful.

Absolute delight. Thank you so much.
March 5, 2013 at 02:07
All these are very beautiful!
March 5, 2013 at 03:20
Are you quite sure that was a boathouse? It looks like an enchanted cottage in a magical frozen forest!
March 5, 2013 at 03:38
The little building near the lake front could be a smaller cottage. You’re right!

March 5, 2013 at 04:28
Snow white… so beautiful!
March 5, 2013 at 06:04
I just love these photos, it makes me feel so close to my true heritage that I will never see, only in your blog will I ever see where my family is and came from. Your blog is so important to me. I see the summer of my ancestors and you show me the winter of my ancestors and family in the beautiful way your eyes see it all. thank you for sharing this to me as that is what it is you do.
March 5, 2013 at 06:30
Many thanks for your very kind words. So glad you feel nearer your ancestors. Do you know where in Sweden they lived?

I love the detail and the linear quality! Beautiful. The first one makes me think of Breugel- even though there are no people.
March 5, 2013 at 06:36
Wow, those are beautiful “frosty” photos!
March 5, 2013 at 06:38
And we are enjoying the pictures.
March 5, 2013 at 08:19
Beautiful snow pictures you show …… we have in snow at present. Wish you a good day
Hanne Bente
March 5, 2013 at 08:32
I love your pictures very much, Lady Fi!
And the minimum of colors in the snow…
Warm greetings from Holland,
Anna
March 5, 2013 at 09:27
Beautiful pictures ! But I am into spring now ! Finally we got rid of this snow ! I had enough, lol !
March 5, 2013 at 10:46
New snow makes everything look so pristine and pretty. Thank you for the multiple views Fiona. xo
March 5, 2013 at 11:00
OK, enough already! Do you work for the local tourist board!
Glad you like the cricket!
Cheers – Stewart M – Melbourne
March 5, 2013 at 11:13

March 5, 2013 at 14:09
Truly magical, and your photographs are superb.
March 5, 2013 at 14:49
I love your magical pics and poetry. I think we had the AC off for about 2 weeks total this past winter. And today is SO hot I’ve taken 3 showers already!!! Seeing your pics has really cooled me down – thanks!
March 5, 2013 at 14:59
Your love of the season always shows in every take and is a pleasure to look at. Thank you LadyFi
March 5, 2013 at 15:17
gorgeous images and words. I wish I was walking in that snow. The summer cottage looks so lonely (and peaceful) – waiting for its summer guests.
Have a wonderful week, and thank you for stopping by my blog today.
March 5, 2013 at 15:37
Is there anything so charming as a little house, half-glimpsed among trees?
March 5, 2013 at 16:00
Beautiful!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
March 5, 2013 at 16:05

March 5, 2013 at 17:54
Wonderful shots! Just wonderful.
March 5, 2013 at 18:30
There is so much beauty in your winter wonderland. The beech trees do look artist and I love the layers of nature apparent in the photo of the nestled boat shed.
March 5, 2013 at 21:58
I always loved walkin in the snow, loved the crispness of the air. The is a magical quality to your thoughts in those minutes.
March 6, 2013 at 00:19
An enchanted kingdom!

Jen
March 6, 2013 at 03:43
Hoar frost is beautiful, isn’t it? I always want to photograph it when we have it here, but I’ve never managed to get such wonderful pictures as these, Fi. They’re gorgeous.
