A Winter Wonderland

That Old Tree

I know that I perhaps shouldn't post too many photos of the old tree, but I have to show you this one. As it has been a long and cold winter we have seen a few days with hard rime over the last week. The Swedish word for that weather phenomenon is Rimfrost which I find a bit more poetic. Anyway, you will have to agree with me that the old tree does look a bit different from just last week.

  5. I suppose Rimefrost is similar to our hoar frost. It makes things pretty.

  6. Thanks to your link, I now know the differences in frozen water droplets. Although I am getting very tired of cold weather and snow and ice, I think the tree is extraordinarily beautiful.

  9. Bundled up with snow for a cover, the old tree is a beauty even when she wears nothing.
