Zero Degrees
So cold yet so beautiful
I don’t have the camera (yet!) to capture the frost in true macro, so I went about it another way, and lent beauty to the trees in the background at the same time.

Whether it's one simple yet somehow perfect day or a dreamed about journey finally realized, I never want to forget the joy of the moment or how fortunate I am!

“So cold yet so beautiful” Indubitably! What a gorgeous capture! Looking forward to your future macros, as well. This photo here is absolute art. How I miss frigid weather, the coy and melancholic beauty of winter. Marvelous, thank you for this! Cheers,

Such a lovely message to see first in response to this post. Thank you for your words, the visit and I’ll be visiting your blog in return (as soon as I transition from home to work 🙂 ) LB
Growing up, Jack Frost always painted our windows. This morning, he wasn’t painting in my neighborhood. Modern windows!
I had to smile, Mae, because “replacement windows” are on my list of things that my home needs. Yes, Jack’s art work indicates the need for replacement, but I will surely miss the pretty scene.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much … it was an unexpected happy result for me.
Beautiful capture! I think it works great as a black and white photo.
Thank you! Yes, even thought the original is close to B&W, it did not “pop” until I changed it.
It sort of looks like leaves falling from the trees. Beautiful shot, as always.
It surely does! Great observation!
Brrrr! indeed!! That’s amazing! I enlarged and enlarged again – it’s magic! Especially that lower left side in the shadow. I do not know how you do it!
We are at a balmy 8 degrees this morning 🙂 Thanks so much for your very kind comments!
Stunning shot.
Thanks Alys. Just read your post … hoping for rain for you all soon!! The poppies are beautiful none the less.
Thanks, LB!
wonderful photograph 🙂
Thank you Klaudia! I hope you are staying warm wherever you may be!
Beautiful! I love it in black and white, it looks 3D. 🙂
Thank you! Are you managing to stay warm up there in the North East?
10 degrees out today……lots of layers! 🙂
So beautiful!
It came out a bit differently than I had expected. Thanks for the comment, Elina!
Incredible capture Laurie, beautiful 😀 have a great day.
You, too, Joe! I’ve been meaning to email about my computer / camera plans. I’ll email later today:-)
Very cool, LB. Stay warm!
You too, Jim! We are having a heat wave at 8 degress today 🙂 Thank goodness I am a fan of winter!
Stunning! LB, I have often had to rely on this trick to get the details. Macro would be great but in the meantime we get pretty close; don’t we?
We are beginning to warm up as of today. By this weekend we will be at 60 deg. and raining. It has been an insane ride for us here. I do hope you are safe and cozy where you are!
The weather is indeed crazy! We’ll have gone from zero to 40 here!
Hoping to get my new camera in 2 weeks! I’m so ready to move to an SLR, even while being pretty happy with what I have accomplished with my “bridge camera”.
Hoping you found encouragement during you appointment yesterday!
Amazing – what an awesome photo – Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with an SLR!
Thanks! I’m excited … two more week (I hope), then a computer, then the new BIKE!!! 🙂
Yes, I have to agree…soooooo cold but beautiful to look at! Gorgeous photo!
Thanks, Heather! I’m sure it’s been literally freezing where you are …
The cold can be beautiful. . . as long as I’m inside. 🙂
🙂 I hear that!!
Nicely done. Has an ethereal feel.
Thanks Mike!! Good to “see” you this morning 🙂
Really nice shot Laurie! I’m seeing such growth in your photography! Good stuff!!!
Robyn, thank you! I’ve learned much and I appreciate you noticing the growth!
So beautiful LB, I love the ghostly tree’s in the background. What time of day did you capture it? It’s nice that the sun didn’t wash out all the uniqueness of each icicle.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen this kind of frost on a window. I remember it more as a small kid. I think it’s just too cold here and our frost is the kind you scrap off like apple peelings. People actually lift their wipers up off their windows here overnight so they don’t freeze down….fun and games, HA.
Well, the reason it’s been so long since you’ve seen this kind of frost is because you probably have better insulated windows than me! My house is 30 years old and “replacement windows” are on my “would love to have” list. Although visions like this do harken back to a lovely time.
The photo was taken in the early morning, just as the sun was rising. So glad you like it!
Hey, I never thought about the type of window, you’re so right (and smart) 😀 Well you should leave just one window ‘as-is’ so that you can always enjoy this beautiful vision.
Very nice capture, bravo
I so appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you!!
Gorgeous, what a great idea to capture it in macro, I am like you and wish that were possible, though I think my next lens will be a macro.
