Frosty Morning

The early morning sun turned the distant Douglas fir trees bright green.

But closer to home, everything was rimed with frost.  

If we can't have snow, a good hardy frost will do the trick.

It serves to turn most everything into a winter wonderland.

Even the blackberry vines.

I'm not sure that the deer enjoy a frosty morning.

Their hooves crunch in the cold grass. 

But they are fat and healthy with nice thick coats.
