Hoarfrost

Since the 14th century, ice crystals interlocking on objects like branches have been known as hoarfrost.

A clear, brisk night sky above our marshy land brought Jack Frost to Busy Solitude Farm. The sun rises earlier and earlier, though, and with continued clear skies this frost won't linger long.

In the meantime, everything is set in a shade of gray, easing to pastels before the full colors of the landscape emerge.
