A news source said: "Rime frost occurs on foggy nights when moisture deposits create spiky formations on cool surfaces, whereas hoarfrost forms on cool, clear nights rising from moisture near the ground and has a fluffier incarnation." Given we had fog, and at -18°C overnight, there was little chance of moisture rising from the ground, I'd say... There was lots of frost on the treetops and much less on the lower branches...
PS - For those not familiar with the concept anymore, behind the branches is a clear, blue sky... 😄
Am I allowed to sneak in one last bluebell shot? Anyway, Happy TmT people. I'm going into the office tomorrow for the first time in a year. Eeeeek 😳
Saw this secluded lake on a look out point on top of Keel Mountain in Alabama. Who can say they have their own lake? Apparently, the owner of this one can.
The liquidambar (sweet gum) ....always early with red leaves here in Berkeley. The City has planted a lot of them as sidewalk trees. They look beautiful, but the nuts are a nuisance underfoot during autumn and winter!
Happy Tuesday! HTmT!
Un-Happy TmT!
This large (100+ yr-old) redwood lost one of its 3 "leaders" (upper trunks) during the extreme winds of 2 weeks ago in the Bay Area. It lived at the UC Botanical Garden and is believed to pre-date the Garden (which moved here in 1929. I'm not sure if they are removing the entire tree.
Update: They ARE taking out the whole tree, and I was told they might have to include a helicopter on the job!
One more discovery as I review and cull old photos. Cropped to remove some redundant sky and provide a wider view, but otherwise SOOC. The color is strictly what you see is what you get. Hooray for vivid winter sunsets! And Happy TmT!
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. --George Eliot
Our first significant accumulation of snow this winter. I'm the only one driving on this road, going back and forth and shooting photos out the car window. HTmT!
