~ 84 ~ Walk With Me in the Hoarfrost This Morning (Nova Scotia, Canada)

in walkwithme •  7 years ago 

The second display so far this winter...

And I did not want to go outside, it was bloody freezing, yet I had to because it was so beautiful I knew I would regret it if I didn't.

The photos don't really do it justice, I'll tell you, every single deciduous tree was covered in angelic white ice crystals, a phenomenon that only happens rarely.

In real life, the white was so bright shining through the forest...it was pure magic.

IMG_3990.JPG

In the background it looks like there could be smoke or something, but it's the shining of all of the frosted trees which is making the background all white.

Let's see some close-ups...

Magical pictures babe. I just love winter scenes.
Kudos to you for going out in the freezing cold, absolutely worth it.
Awesome.

Thanks TP, and I can't wait to hear all about your going ons this weekend! Hehehe!!

I'm still hungover..........BAD! 😖😫💩

The beauty of your pictures never ceases to amaze me. The ice just makes everything look especially stunning and your pictures capture it perfectly! I can almost imagine my fingers freezing to the keyboard as I type :D

I'm so glad you braved the cold and made it out to take some shots. One things for sure it may be cold, but you've brightened my day in doing so. Thank you @lyndsaybowes

Thank you PerceptualFlaws!! I'm not much of a morning person, so it was an extra shock that I got out there :) How bout you, do you like mornings? Or more of a night owl?

Well I'm very glad you did :) .. I'm really trying to make myself a morning person but late evening is the only time I get to write. Hence I stay up far too late and then sleep as long as I can get away with! I'm beginning to look like a panda lol so I'm thinking earlier night then up early for some writing? Although best laid plans and all that! :D

I can definitely relate. If it weren't for the kids, I'd never see early morning.

Oh this all looks so lovely. But you know what, it looks even lovelier seeing it here on my screen whilst outside here we are getting rain GLORIOUS rain! (I'm a wretch to boast about that, I know)

After your last post about ice returning I have got up each morning with trepadation, peeping my little gaze out my bedroom curtain to view one of our "rhody barometers" expecting to see them curled up tight, afraid of the cold frigid air. But, alas, no they are open and covered in soft rain.

I am sure we are not out of the woods, though, as they say (THEY are always SAYING something, aren't they?) that we do have some snow coming. But, until I see it falling or notice the inward curve of the rhody leaves, I am going to live in blissful ignorance that Spring is early and snow is gone for good this Winter and the sun will shine and unicorns will bring me tea in bed...well maybe the last bit is a stretch.

The tracery of ice and white in your landscape is breathtaking though, so beautiful. And your chickens seem to not be phased at all. Mine, this morning, were sad little darlings, as they wanted to go into their run and when I went later, the little buggers were still out and they looked as if someone had dumped a bucket of water on their head. I think they are just so happy to have the nice warm rain and NOT cold frozen ground, they are thumbing their noses (see beak ) at it and basking in the damp warmth.

Well, here I go again, another long letter in your comments. When will I learn to type less...never that's the answer to that question. You and I both know that . :)

Thank you for sharing your warm weather with us Donna :) We were +8 today, with a beautiful light rain falling at times, and then mist/fog rolling from the hills. It's going to be short lived though unfortunately. I'm glad you, your feathered family and the rhodys are all unfurled and warm :) Chickens have such bad hair days in the rain hey? Poor little things...

I know, they look so bedraggled, especially our one polish hen, Mag Wildwood (from Breakfast at Tiffany's). Isn't it fun naming chickens!

Now I see we are to have snow over the next two days. I guess it still IS Winter after all.

I know right haha, the ones with the poofy afros suffer the worst in the rain, wretched little things...

Winter is still coming eh? Damn.

This is Snow White, the type of winter I see in books and watch in films. Coated with snow, these deciduous trees belong in fairy tales

IMG_20180128_052657_751.JPG

The highway for way-farers
The winter trees apparelled
in snowy flaky crystals
They are like the fairyland
Where only fairies dare to thread

Thank you Lindsey for sharing this. Have a wonderful Sunday.

You're welcome, and thank you too for sharing this original prose with me :) You're such a talented woman Edith! xoxo

Thank you so much for the compliment, it matters most to me.

You're one of the few persons at steemit, who really share quality and real STUFF regarding NATURE. And come out with Natural Stuff here is not a JOKE.
If someone take some pictures and just post them by calling NATURE is not the way. There must be some explanation regarding the material which you're going to post. So the person who have complete knowledge and interest about these things can do the true job.
And I'm happy that @lyndsaybowes you're doing great efforts in this regard.
I love your homeland, your pictures give me lot of energy and I feel positivity.
By the way all the hens are so cute. My mom has the same hobby. She has almost 50+ hens in her place.
Keep sharing love, beauty and positivity for the betterment of this awesome community.
All the best and Stay Blessed!

Aww, bless your Mom and her feathered flock :) I'm glad you get to have fresh eggs! Nothing beats it. I'm also really blushing that you like my photography so much, and you can feel good energy coming from our Natural surroundings here. Thank you @jawad09, it means a lot.

Hii Madam @lyndsaybowes,

First of all Sorry for late Comment here, because I was away from home. your today photography for #walkwithme are more pretty look as usual, I appreciate your artistic skills on these photographs. when i read and see your post it seems to me that i am realy here along with you at these places. freezing ice on plants Like a billion jewels is much loving seen. and all cute hens while taking breakfast amazing scene.

Thank you for always coming over to our part of the world Rabeel... <3 <3 <3 I am sorry for the late reply <3 :) xoxo I'm feeling a little ill today.

Thanks @lyndsaybowes for your kind reply. sorry to know that you are ill. I pray for your health and hope you will get well soon.Take care and stay Blessed.

of-course you would have regret if you didn't go out to that view
I imagine the magic ice spread over my black hat among these trees and wish I was there

I wish you were here too because that would make an excellent photo!

this one makes me feel that somebody scattered a ton of flour over the fores

That certainly paints an image! Thanks for sharing your thought with me Mr. Dreamer :)

HA #chickenbitches all with their butts in the air.
Very pretty frost - but I'm glad I'm inside. Brrrr!

Your lovely godchickens all send their fluffy-butted regards to you Angel Phe!

GREAT frosty pics - one of my favorite subjects. I took this a few years ago at a hot spring near where we used to live...

S5001629.JPG

That is absolutely magical...like a scene from The Dark Crystal which should have been in the movie, but wasn't!

The hot springs are pretty magical. Idaho is just covered with them, and we have put our butts in most of them lol! You have any on your island?

Looks like Narnia darling. We just need the lion and the witch, we found the wardrobe. Beautiful...I really must be getting me a better camera. xx

I'm thinking happy, camera-like thoughts for you! xo

It was a great walk as usual. all the pictures are so stunning and shinning. By the way are you using DSLR ?

I don't know what DSLR is, so I guess the answer is no :) If it is editing software, I don't use editing on any of these photos :) I have a canon t2i :) It takes impressive photographs that don't need any edits most of the time.

Hmmm! DSLR stands for "Digital Single Lens Reflex". It captures best quality pictures in today time.
DSLR is a feature or we can say quality of camera(i just googeled it).
By the way i think you are using a DSLR but i am not sure.

Yes, then it must be :) I got the camera in 2010 so I'm sure that technology was available then.

I love the tag #walkwithme because of these cool photography.

I'm happy you enjoy the tag, I hope to see your posts there one day soon!

I salute you, the fighting spirit is so high. This is the trait that we can get out of the downturn. Although the winter season is being felt, but you will never give up to get what you want. Despite having to walk on the surface of the snow is so cold. Therefore I salute you, my hope that #walkwithme continue to raise his glory in the world of steemit as what you do.

Spirit !!

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and your poetic words @abelanar11 :) I appreciate you.

Thank you very much for this post. This post is very helpful for beginners to always raise his spirits

These are great photos I really fainted. I went out one day and I will take pictures on the walk and share it here. Thank you for the pictures and writing. @lyndsaybowes

Oh that would be so awesome, I really really look forward to seeing your contributions to the #walkwithme community!

I do believe these white icy branches are making the life even more beautiful. yes it is really foggy outside here but i am sure you guys are living below the freezing point.

That blackish tail of Pendock is really prominent in that group of hungry girls :D

I loved this picture awesome shot @lyndsaybowes

Mr. Pendock sends you his genuine regards, and enjoys the compliment on his tail, which he worked very hard preening to get that luscious shine.

Pendosck is just Love ;)

Many thanks for the beautiful winter walk. Great pictures! Watching your photos makes me feel like I'm there. Thanks again ;)

You are very welcome @agluck :) I appreciate your interest in these photos.

Though it seems to be freezing but there is some magic in the air. You have some beautiful shots captured. The best I like is the second picture of the trees covered with Ice crystals, just so wonderful.

Thank you very much dear Sister :) xoxo

Lol. Even with our harmattan, you'd never feel like going out or taking yout bath. You actually love nature to risk going out. The frozen arts are actually top class. I love walking with you!! 😹😹😹

A lovely black and white chessboard of chickens. No racists to see here just us girls and boys so move on unless you have food ❤😎

Your pictures always seem to portray nature in its undiluted state. I really loved walking with you again today.
And thanks for including my favorite part - the #chickenbitches. They always put a smile on my face.
Have a lovely day. Cheers!

D;awwwww....I'm so happy that you love our funny flock :) They really are characters, I love to share them, they are my 35 children :) xoxo

I'm sad because I wanted to continue reading the story of Alfalfa, Mr. Pendock, Hercules, John Cena
what's interesting in the walkwithme chapter # 83

You won't have to wait long for the next season of #chickenbitches :) They are plotting more fun as we speak...

Let's see what evil Hercules does with Mr. Pendock,
and that alfalfa comb the hair ha ha

long journey through Canada with @lyndsaybowes see nature full of beauty works of human child with photography .. extraordinary .😊😊😊😁😁

Thank you very much for coming over today @azizpase! <3 <3 <3 I appreciate it!

WOW!!! The angelic crystal frost is otherworldly!! Ohmgee! It really is a sweet treat that you save the best for last! Is that juniper? 💜💛💚💙❤

Thanks Jill! I'll have to look up Juniper, but I thought it was a baby spruce tree. I'll be back!

I think you're right! It's a baby spruce tree with baby angelic hore frost! Loved this walk Lyndsay, do people call you Lynds?! I have a cousin that shares your name and we always called her that. 👍thanks for sharing these great images!

Juniper is more of a ground level bush that spreads. It's about a footish tall.

You can certainly call me Lynds! I'm comfy with that name :)

Juniper looked beautiful when I searched it, almost a similar foliage to cedar... <3 Probably smells amazing too!

Hey Lynds 😁 Sorry to read you're feeling ill yesterday. That's no fun. Juniper is amazing, if you use a rough mortar and pestal, like a lava one or even rough rocks, you can grind up a bit of the branch to use for inscense. Burn it on a piece of charcoal. It DOES smell amazing! It's such a treat and a gift. 💜🤗

I love checking in to see what your rugby players are up to...Lol. your area keeps getting more beautiful with every post.

Thank you very much Mr. Crusher :) :) :)

@lyndsaybowes, Its top classy photography collections catch from winter nature.Such a outstanding view with frozen snow. Forests changed their color ever-green to pure white. I have no real live experience coz my country hasn't winter. But I most stunning with your clicks, I feel like am staying now Nova- Scotia. Nature gives us marvelous decorations with mixing snow and trees. I pretty inspiration again and thanks a lot my mind attraction.

You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoy this change of scenery. I hope you enjoy staying in Nova Scotia hehehe :)

I really enjoyed walking with you. I feel the beauty of nature. I will definitely love to have you walk with me also very soon.
Am glad to see the chickens are really doing fine.

Thanks for the keeping me company by walking with you.

Regards @funkylove

You will bring us on a walk soon, is that what you mean? If so, YAY!!!

Yes....that's what i mean. I really love and appreciate what you are doing here.

Cool pictures, you are right hard to photograph and you have get up early and go out while is still cold. . I got the idea though and now I am going to go look for some post from the tropics you gave me the cold shivers.

Great photographs. I have a question though. How are winters in your part of the world? Is it colder than what it used to be or is it getting warmer unusually.

Here in India, particularly in Himalayan states, we are undergoing a winter like never seen before.

There's literally no snowfall and no rains either since November barring a few stray spells of snow/rain (which mean nothing for farmers though)

I am so sorry to hear about the drought you are experiencing there, that is a horrible shame! Winter here in Canada is still the same...cold, windy...melts once in a while..then more cold and more wind :) Lots of precipitation in the form of snow and rain.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

It's sad to hear you are experiencing a dry winter @goel.tarun. That is not good at all. I will pray that your weather improves so your farms can be bountiful.

This extraordinary beauty. I know what you're talking about. Sometimes the camera does not convey all the charm of these winter wonders. But your photos are amazing. It's a magical time. Despite the cold, we are obliged to photograph it. Thank you for the walk.

Thank you for your empathy, in understanding how much more surreal and magnificent it was to behold in real life... <3

Lindsay, this looks so gorgeous! For the sake of this beauty was worth to go outside on a cold day. Thanks for very beautiful pictures.

This is gorgeous. I miss winter like that. Haven't seen snow this year. All we have is a muddy rainy weather instead of this winter wonderland.

These are crystal covered trees, elegant and pure white-ness, so uniquely beautiful.
It looks so cold out there, thank you for braving the cold so you could feed our eyes with this nature's wonder.

Thank you for appreciating the beauty of the day @ariastark02 :)

I believe you that the pictures don't it justice, but I can see in my mind how that the ice crystals do have a certain glow if I was there in person. Of course I don't know if I want to experience that cold you are talking about. :)

The chicken bitches look like they're enjoying @Hendrix22 leftover asparagus..

we will take your ice crystals during the summer here in Phoenix :) , cool detail shots !!!

That white forest looks very eyecatching! Just like in the snow white movie. No wonder you got out even if it was bloody freezing. That beautiful scenery deserved lots of photograph.

Hey Mark lol !

Wow omg im in love with this collection and with this magical pictures i adore it

Awesomwe photography dear keep it up You shot the nature I like your work and follow you hope you will do good

When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring.

woq..awesome photography my dear friend @lyndsaybowes i love your post thanks for sharing
