For Wordless Wednesday, let your images tell the story.

“Winter, come rest your soul on autumn’s weary head. Twirl, shimmer, soften before tucking fall to bed.” ~ Angie Weiland-Crosby

So, so beautiful, Terri – frost is a wonder in itself. And beautiful poetry to go with them.

I really like that Crosby quote Terri and the close-up ice photos are incredible! It almost made wintry weather worth it for the pictures!

Thank you, Linda! Angie Weiland Crosby has a whole web page of quotes. Just Google her. The last leaf was taken in Central WA near the Grand Coulee Dam area. We had just missed the major ice storm. Literally the last leaf on the tree 🍂

Okay thanks for the tip – I really liked that quote Terri. You lucked out with that major ice storm. We had a bad ice storm February 22nd. We are having Spring-like temps. We broke a record today from 1946 when we hit 60 degrees!

I’m pleased that autumn is still here in Wales, Terri. We’ve had some frosty nights and mornings, which have helped preserve the leaves, although sadly, most are on the ground now.
Your frozen leaf looks fantastic, though. I love the ice crystals on it. So beautiful.

Thanks, Hugh! I was pleased to capture this poor leaf 2 years ago after an ice storm in Central Washington. After this crazy rain we’ve had of late, even the snow and ice just disappeared. I’m glad you still have some autumn color. When we loved in California we would still see good color in December.

I also love the frozen leaf and the whole winter vibe, Terri. It’s 82 here today but thankfully it’s been cooling off in the lower 40’s at night, so I can have a chilly walk in the morning. 🙂 Happy Wednesday.

Love the ice crystals on the leaves. Two seasons crashing into one. Each one letting the other look better.

Thanks, Diana! I’m glad I made that leaf collage when I did. You must be getting all the rain from that atmospheric river we’re experiencing now. Our 6 inches of snow and any frost is long gone.

Thanks, Bernie! I think this was my first time seeing flash-frozen leaves. This was taken in Jan 2022 at Grand Coulee Dam in Central WA.
