“Frost is the greatest artist in our clime - He paints in nature and describes in rime”

 

- Thomas Hood

 

This photo was taken last Sunday morning in Madison, Wisconsin. The type of frost shown here is called, rime. Riming occurs very quickly when heavily saturated air is comes into contact with a frozen surface (in this case, a branch) that is often wet from condensation.
