It was a very frosty morning in Okemos one day a couple weeks ago. There had been fog over night, but the temperature had dropped, and the fog began adhering to everything it touched. This is our front yard in Okemos, on the west side of our house. I was heading for work and took the the camera just in case there were some good shots to be had along the foggy roads to Michigan State that morning. Beauty often seems to spring at you out of nowhere, no matter the source of the beauty, even when you're writing or reading. I was backing out of the drive, saw the branches of our little crabapple caked in frost, and hopped out of the car to get the shot. Within an hour a warm late-winter sun had melted and evaporated all the frost, and now, two weeks later, there is no hint of this scene in our front yard, since all the snow is gone.

Ben: this is a scene that we rarely see in the Copper Country and it reminds me when we lived in Detroit and Livonia. It was the type of thing that occurred mainly in the Spring such as it is here. Last Fall, while driving to Escanaba early one morning, we had a similar fog along US-141. Of course I didn't have my camera so it is only held in memory.
