My canine friend in hoarfrosted grass
with Yellowstone River in the background.
With winter light fading in the late afternoon, the
frosty formations become more pronounced against
the blue shadows cast from winter's low light.
e hoarfrost can last all day if the sub-freezing
temperature combined with humidity is maintained.
If either ingredient is sacrificed such as too much sun,
melting will take place. Once humidity is lost, the
delicate, crystallized "gems" crumble and icicles might
form. When these two elements come together, take
note and "shoot" for these occasions don't cross our
winter paths that often.
