Frosty Leaves

Winter in the Midwest brings cold temperatures and scenes of whiteness. Cold mornings also means a chance of frosty leaves on shrubs and trees. I came across the frosty leaves below last winter at Moraine Nature Preserve in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Next is an image taken a couple of days ago at Kensington Metropark in Michigan. Kent Lake was covered in snowy whiteness against a blue sky with scattered clouds. We don’t have much snow yet but temperatures are supposed to drop through the week. As in most places, predicting the weather in the Midwest seems difficult to get exactly right.

What does it look like in your part of the world? Is it cold and snowy or warm and full of sunshine? Are weather forecasts dependable there?

    1. Thanks, Nora. Makes me happy to see beauty out there, even on a cold wintry day. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Oooh beautiful!!

    1. Thanks, M.B. Are you directing any plays anytime soon?

      1. Possibly in 2026! We’ll see! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Gorgeous macro and landscape shots. It doesn’t snow where we are but just as in your place predicting the weather here in the Philippines is difficult. It’s not supposed to rain this month – this is normally well into the dry season – but it rained the previous days.

    1. Thanks! The Philippines is a place I would love to visit. Hoping to get there one of these days. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  4. Snowy and cold indeed in those pictures! In northern California, we are looking at low highs in the 60s and lows in the 30-40s.

    1. I think I would enjoy having some highs in the 60s. Enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  5. Wonderful images.

  10. Gorgeous photos, not only in this post, but your entire website! ๐Ÿ˜ I’m in Suburban Toronto, where winter has returned after a few milder years. Bracing for a Polar Vortex this week! ๐Ÿฅถ Thanks for visiting The Doglady’s Den and writing a comment as well. Cheers!
