Morning's light gradually unveils the artistic and beautiful work left behind by Jack Frost. Early morning sun peeks through the clouds and makes frosty branches shimmer like diamonds, creating a glistening wonderland.
For today's Fence Friday I've chosen an image of landscape minimalism and lots of negative space because I enjoyed this winter scenario with a cold sunset over frosted fields in Scotland so very much.
Happy Fence Friday!

Frost crystals have formed overnight on the surface of a Richardson's geranium leaf in a subalpine meadow.
The door in the dark air, beyond the tree at my window,
will open one day into my own afterlife. My mother will be
waiting in her organdy gown, tranquil, the fear emptied
from her eyes, her skin like fresh snow. She will
say come, my lost butterfly, and lead me across
the pasture toward the distant woods which glimmer
with a dust of snow. The bonfire of moon has burned
down and only the fragmentary blue lightfall of the stars
remains. I want to find my father in his ghost house,
and my brothers and sisters who have gone to gather blueberries
or wild grapes years ago. Goodbye and keep cold I tell old
friends who pass, their baskets filled with fire and ice from
the frozen orchard, the ice of love, and a question the wind
repeats: Is this life the gift outright, or is there another
revelation clear and colder at the end of a late walk?
Is this the wrong road not taken? What is the lesson for today?
Still waiting, the figure in the doorway may not be my mother.
I go on reading, unhelped by any wind or the owlet's cry.

Årnestangen on a cold winter day.
Here Norway's largest river runs through Lake Øyeren and forms Norway's largest inland delta.
The delta is a bird paradise and especially in spring and autumn the migratory birds take a break here before moving further north.

Taken last weekend during my search for the first flowers of the year. Yes, it was cold, but luckily most of the early flowers cope better with frost than I do. :)

This frost covered pond left me thinking, "missed it", and could have been the title. But that would not suffice, because no one witnessed what I missed. The moment I moved the camera from my eye, and seconds after this shot, an enormous Blue Heron flew by my head.
Close enough to reach out and touch, I could feel the flow of air from his wings. A shot worth having, it will just have to be classified under the heading, the one that got away.
