Let me take you back to the end of October last year,
To a cold day of frosted eyelashes on leaves.
It was a stunning bright day
Perfect for a drive out to the horse ranch
Sporting its old Grand Central clock on the side of the barn.
The brilliance of the sun
Turned the wires into art
And behind the frosted thistles
I discovered a secret world of rainbow bubbles.
On the way home, I stopped to admire
The endurance of this ancient rune stone
(And to wonder if the Simpsons was based on the pattern on the stone…
Look at those eyes!)

Hi Fiona, Love that first shot. Frost can make for some great photos, can’t it???? AND–that blue sky is gorgeous. We haven’t had much of anything but rain here for quite awhile… BUT–this morning, it is much colder here (low 30’s) –and very foggy… Fog makes for good pictures also.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy
