Day 9. Frosty morning.

A glorious frost greeted me first thing this morning.  My first chance this season to get some true winter shots.  I scurried into the ditch at work, and to the farm across the road, to take advantage of some beautiful views.

(Side note, my almost brand new HP desktop computer broke - won't start - got the blue screen of death when I turned it on tonight.  The computer is less than 6 months old, doggone it.  And I pretty much only use it for photos.  No kids or wild adults surfing sights where I could have gotten a virus, plus I have virus protection.  But after the blue screen of death showed up, the computer said it could repair itself.  Yeah, right.  It spent a while 'fixing' itself, and now told me I'd better backup my files.  So I suspect a visit to the computer shop will be in order.  Luckily, my 8-year-old laptop is still hanging in there.  Although it has a mysterious whirring noise that gets awfully loud sometimes.  Hopefully it can hold out until my desktop is back up and running.  But if I disappear, or start posting only middling shots taken with just my smartphone, you'll know the worst has happened and I'm computerless.)

Should I have gotten a Mac?

Well, enjoy the brilliant frost.  The beauty of ice.  (So long as it's not on the roads.  But that's a long, sad story for another time, a story about my new car and a big rock.)  Beauty for now.  That's what I'll focus on.

Natural monochrome.

(These pictures were all taken in full color, but showed up completely colorless. Weird.  I had to double check my camera since I was not expecting the shots I got.  Neat though huh?)
