Frozen in Time

When I look at the world around me I see a world filled with art! It can be found everywhere, not only in the bark of a tree, or the texture in the rocks, it can be found right after a night with freezing temperatures.  Grabbing my camera and I head outdoors to see what delights nature has for me. And here are pieces of art that are, for the moment anyway, frozen in time!

I step right outside my front door and am greeted with not only frost, but rainwater frozen on our railings. Taking a close look at the frozen rainwater one can see air bubbles frozen in time.

When you add sunshine and shadows, and throw in a bit of imagination, one can see the art nature gives to us!

Wandering over to the bird bath, I tap on the piece of ice. It is frozen solid, and has captured in time along with it, pine needles.

I head over to the side deck where our railing is painted green. Here, rather than frozen rain water, the railing is covered with frost.

The patterns one can find is part of the beauty that Mother Nature gives to us. We just need to stop and take the time to look at the beauty found within…

Being that it is a mere 29 degrees out, I decide to head back in. I stop one more time to view the water on the railing. It has begun to melt yet the beauty is still there!

The melt begins

Next time you venture outside after a frosty night, I hope that you stop to take the time to see what is frozen in time!
