 It's Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is from when we had the lovely hoar frost event here in the beginning of January.  This image was taken as the frost was melting and turning into lovely water drops on everything.  I captured these drops on a head of grass with the sunlight on them and some lovely bubbly bokeh behind.  It's a great image for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 Happy Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is another from the frost event we had a short time ago.  My Teasels make for interesting subjects due to how the frost clings to them.  I liked the subtle bubbly bokeh in this image as well.  Sharing it today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 Happy Monday and happy new week!  We had some hoar frost again last week and it was even more pronounced than the frost in December.  It's rare we get these conditions and now it has happened twice within a month's time.  Makes for great photo opportunities.  This is a branch of maybe my Lilac that looks like it was sugar coated.

 TGIF, it's Friday!!  Today's image is another I took during the day we had some lovely light hoar frost in our area.  The dried Teasels in the yard looked like they had a nice coating of sugar.  Sharing this image today due to the lovely bokeh behind because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 Happy Monday and new week!  We had a neat and rare occurrence on Saturday.  We had some fog in our area which created Hoar frost!  It wasn't as large as some I have seen in the past but it made for some nice photos of a few things.  This is some Bittersweet that I captured in my yard that looks like it is sugar coated.  This is a focus stack of 2 images to get more detail.

 I captured this image on the day of the fog and Hoar frost.  These are the Union Pacific tracks that run through the southern part of my town.  I thought the frost and fog provided for a quite lovely scene.

 We are still quite cold and supposed to be even colder than earlier in the week so TGIF, I can hibernate for the next 2 days.  This is another image I got the day we had some rare fog and Hoar Frost.  I captured this Sumac seed head with frost over it.  It had some nice bokeh in the image as well so I had to share it today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 We are under quite the cold snap right now.  It started on the weekend as I write this and today was supposed to be pretty bitter with a low of 1 F or -17 C.  Yuck.  On the first day of the month we had a rare event of fog which produced some lovely Hoar Frost.  It was as thick as it would have liked but it was still quite lovely.  I captured this image on an evergreen branch.

This is a macro image I captured of the hoar frost we had in our area.  It was the day after it was at it's largest and prettiest but in this one area it was still present and lovely.  I liked the bokeh around it as well.  I wish the background had been a bit darker to show it off even better but you take what you can get sometimes.

The next day after the extreme Hoar Frost there was still some smaller examples of it around.  I took a few close up images of it with my actual camera like this one which I thought turned out rather nicely.

It is so weird having to put 20 as the year now.  So far I have remembered though.  This is another image from the morning of the beautiful thick Hoar frost.  This is taken at an area called The Bluffs Park.  There is a pond there that I never knew about till that day as I had never gone to this particular overlook.  I thought it was quite the lovely view.

The day of the frost I just had to take a bit of a break and go out close to where I work a take a couple images.  This is a view of the Smoky Hill river looking east with the trees all covered in Hoar frost.

Today's image is one that shows just how thick the Hoar frost was that day.  This is a part of the chain link fence behind where I work.  I went out and shot a few quick images with my phone.  I am glad I decided to get a Google Pixel which takes very good images since I did not have my actual camera that day.  The phone camera did pretty well in capturing the detail.  I have never seen Hoar Frost so thick, it was pretty amazing.

Merry Christmas Eve!  Happy Tuesday!  Two days after it snowed it was very cold out but we had a foggy morning that created some lovely Hoar Frost. The closer you got to the river, the thicker and more beautiful the Hoar frost was, I have never seen it as big as it was that day.  Unfortunately i did not have my actual camera with me as i would have loved to do some macros, that is one thing phones are not good for yet. This is a tree that was covered in it.  The white dot to the upper left is the moon.

It was very Brrrrrr COLD this morning, 0F or minus 18C when I was going to work.  Not liking that at all.  Very cold for Kansas.  My image today I was mainly sharing for the lovely bokeh behind it because Fridays are Bokeh days on Google +.  I loved the Hoar Frost tips on this pine and how it still seemed soft even with the frost.  This was taken on a day about 32 degrees warmer too.  :-)
