Glitter and glory

18 degrees at 6am; back to cold weather again after a couple of weeks of decoy weather–days into the 50′s & even 60!
The frost was so beautiful at sunrise this morning (9:10 am because of Black Mountain & Katka peak) that I was mesmerised. It was land of glitter & glory: prismatic rainbows and silver everywhere, diamond beads on the birdfeeders….ooh-er, lucky to be alive.

Forsythia is a sheer joy. There is not an ounce, not a glimmer of sadness or even knowledge in forsythia.
