Hello, Jack Frost!

 

December 2009

 

Grants Pass, Oregon

The temperatures dipped down in December, with several nights of frost, and one of freezing rain. Here are some shots!

 

The frost hit the leaves...

 

The grass...

 

The roads...

 

Mailboxes...

 

...and car windows (an old VW bug!)

 

The rain froze on the trees...

 

...and made icicles on the Oregon Grape bushes!

 

 

The shoreline was covered with ice crystals:

 

And the shallow water, with ice!

 

Caveman Bridge on an icy day...

 

 

A neighbor and I rescued a kitten from under there!

Here he is in the brambles...

 

And now in his new home! (Photos by Stephanie Burnakus)

His name is Rudy, after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

 

May all of your "tails" have equally happy endings!

Happy Winter!
