Frost feathers
Ice crystals
Yet another chilly morning, but for this early walk, the temperature was only in the low 20s, so, compared to the early part of the week, when the thermometer nudged 6 degrees, it almost felt balmy. And maybe it felt that way to the soil, too, for it seemed to give up a little of its frozen moisture. However, as soon as that water vapor hit the grass blades, it quickly refroze into that feathery configuration known as soft rime. This kind of ice is very fragile and would soon disappear when the sun warmed the ground a bit more. I made sure it didn't vanish without its presence being recorded.
