Friday Was Frosty

The morning low Friday was 24F.  
As the sun rose through the trees, the world was white and sparkling.

The moon was reluctant to leave...

The hazelnut brush showed an alabaster hue.

The chocolate bracken ferns were coated with frost-white ganache.

The sunlight danced....

...and everything shimmered.

The gold-crowned sparrows...

...and the juncos were the first visitors to the feeders.

This song sparrow lived up to its name. 

It greeted the new day with an effervescent melody.
