Sunrise colors hoar frost in pastel colors

C O L D. That was the key word yesterday morning when I took this image along the South Platte River north of Denver.

The mercury was showing 1 degree above zero as the sun emerged from its slumber. With the warming light very slowly starting to spread, an amazing scene was unveiled with a thick hoar frost covering the foliage. Some of this frost stuck out an inch from the branches.

Crazy stuff and of course very, very beautiful. I snapped a few pics but then quickly retreated to the warmth of my truck. 😉
