Cold as Rime Ice, that is…although I’m still going to call it frost. I actually predicted it, this time: I knew the weather conditions the night before, I’d decided that they were going to be perfect for this sort of development, and I was one hundred percent accurate the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When I first ventured out into the yard, I was astonished. I knew we were going to have an event in the morning, but in no way did I expect things to be so absolutely spectacular!<\/p>\n\n\n

I also knew it was going to be cold outside when I wanted to go out and get these shots. Ya know what? It was worth it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, I had to start close to home. There was just so much cool stuff! I knew I’d have a gold mine with the barbed wire, so I decided to check out some other surfaces around the place first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s nice when you don’t even have to leave your deck in order to find an awesome photo! That made it easier to dart inside and warm up frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X marks the spot. Over the next few days, I picked a lot<\/strong> of spots. I took a plethora of photos, too. I plan to group them into some awesome blog posts to share, too! So hang on, it’s gonna be like the good ol’ days when I used to post on this blog more frequently! At least for a while…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
