Wisconsin Winter

The most beautiful hoarfrost graced everything yesterday morning.  But only on the west side of trees, plants, fences, houses, etc.  Truly spectacular the frost stood up on objects and gave another dimension to the eye.  Crystal clear but appearing white as light reflected off of it.  Light does the same thing to white daisy petals too.  Did you know that?  Daisy petals that appear white to the human eye are really clear!

Here you see the arbor vitae that grow along side my home here in southeast Wisconsin.  Now you ask why didn't I take more pictures?  I wanted too but was too busy with my new pup, Bon Bon which I did take for his first walk ( ok...I carried him wrapped in a blanket 'cause he is too small to walk far yet and it was too cold for him outside of a blanket).  By the way I've taken to calling him Bonny some times as a nickname.
