Jack Frost

Jack Frost by Cecily Pike

Look out! Look out!
Jack Frost is about!
He’s after our fingers and toes;
And all through the night,
The gay little sprite
Is working where nobody knows.

He’ll climb each tree,
So nimble is he,
His silvery powder he’ll shake.
To windows he’ll creep
And while we’re asleep
Such wonderful pictures he’ll make.

Across the grass
He’ll merrily pass,
And change all its greenness to white.
Then home he will go
And laugh ho, ho, ho!
What fun I have had in the night.

Very pretty....Our homes are so airtight these days that you never see that anymore....but when I was a kid we saw it alot.... :)

@kathyd @emeraldboots @chard @digitalrn @jonna @petersonsheri @daisy @maggie2 @camarobabe @cjwhite @stephd @barbsmith @imagesbysofia @pfmandeville @omabluebird @spanna @lynnmwatson @rylenlui14 @marja @ellida @aikiuser @hcarr @harvey @geertje @shadowdancer @isisweiss @timandelke @miranda Thank you all for the nice comments, I really appreciate each and every one. A couple months ago I was pretty excited to see frost patterns in my view finder....now it's a last resort kind of picture. I'd like to look out the window and see some color for a change but I'm beginning to think winter is here to stay and spring will never arrive. It's way too early for spring fever!! :)

[ShadowDancer]

Paula, I'm feeling the same way. I'm so tired of the cold and darkness!

[Heather (pixelchix)]

so pretty! the inner white edge works nicely here too.

[FaerieMoon]

Nice job--it looks like little feathers

[wendy chapman]

I think it looks like ferns. Very pretty. I am feeling the winter blues myself. The dark and cold are making it tough for me to take photos this week. I want a bit of sunshine!

[Lori Rompolski]

gorgeous shot, just wonderful

[Brad Johnson]

Gorgeous frost.

[Dawn B]

Love it! its too warm where I am to capture any myself so thanks for sharing such a good shot of it ;)

[Anastasia]

This is so lovely!

@aipassa @thineownself @bradsworld @loriromp @wac @clarissajohal @pixelchix @shadowdancer Thank you all for your uplifting comments. I've been in a photo funk for days and it really helps to have some encouraging words. If I wasn't doing this project I'd most likely get frustrated with bad picture days, put the camera away for months and say the heck with it. Now there are good days and bad days but I always pick up the camera every day and move on so thanks for helping keep me motivated!
