Artist Enjoys Frost Covered Trees
With four days of early morning fog and cooling temperatures a beautiful layer of hoar frost has formed on trees. The afternoon sunshine illuminates the ice coated trees glowing, shimmering, silhouetted against the dark shadows of winter they stand out each branch ablaze by back light. Crisp walks in subzero temperatures, footsteps crunching through crusty snow surrounded by silence and frost lit trees, this artist finds inspiration and magic in the landscape. Orange/yellow sky painted by the setting sun enhances the frigid landscape coloring the snow. Alaska winter at its best!

Hi, my husband and I (both attendees at Finneytown high school in Cincinnati) used to live in Eagle River. I so miss the unique and special beauty of Alaska. Although I don’t miss break up much.
thanks for sharing your photo, it took me right back into the woods.

Thank you Beverly, It has been beautiful for weeks and today it has snowed about 6″ on top of all that frost. I can’t wait to get out and take photos. Gail
