My favorite about winter is definitely the hoar frost.
Here are some shots from Eagan.
Things are actually rainy and muddy right now, but a few weeks ago we got some pretty hoar frost.
The images link to larger files.
The pictures were taken on my Blackberry.
I’m ambivalent about spring coming. The temperature is warmer but the dogs are muddier, and there’s no dramatic hoar frost.
The worst part of the thaw is that all of the trash, dead animals, and dog shit that has accumulated all winter is now visible. It looks like a big septic tank exploded all over the city. Ick.
