Cold weather blasts into central
Texas so infrequently that waking up to a morning with frost dusting any
surface provides a spectacular photography opportunity. When I ventured outside
this morning with the dogs, frost coated the top of our hot tub. Its sparkle
drew my eyes, and I rushed back inside to grab my camera to capture a few shots
before the morning sunlight heats the cover and melts away our evidence of last
night’s freeze.
I know many of you sit frozen into place by mountains of snow, and you’ll probably look at these jewels and think, “No big deal.” However, I like pausing in the daily grind just long enough to celebrate Nature’s subtleties.
