Baby, it's cold outside

I was so disappointed when I saw this lovely hoarfrost all over the trees and bushes this morning when I raced out of the house to catch my bus in time, camera unfortunately not with me. By some stroke of luck, I got home early this afternoon with daylight to spare, so I snapped a few shots in my yard. I couldn't choose just one, so today is a three-fer!

Sweet success!

I've been trying all day to shoot blue things, I need one, maybe two more shots for my assignment due on Tuesday. I have a couple more ideas floating in my head so there could be bonus photos in another post later tonight, but this is the one shot that I am most happy with so far, shot through my hawthorne tree towards the west horizon.
