Walking around my grandparents-in-law's farm this morning gave me a great opportunity to see a lot of foliage covered in the first major frost of the year for this part of the country. It was quite brisk as I took the stroll and the scenery was definitely not disappointing. Tree branches, wood piles, grass stems, and wildflower remnants were covered with all shapes and sizes of frost. There is a lake here on their farm that I wanted to walk down to as well and saw a thin layer of ice around the perimeter of the man-made water hole. I heard birds chirping, or rather screeching as I walked too close to their nests, as well as other wildlife scampering away from the menacing human carrying nothing more than camera equipment. I had many shooting opportunities this morning and look forward to the next few days I'm here to make up for some lost time traveling yesterday for my blog entry. This photograph is of some wild berries growing pretty fruitful in the woods. With the sun rising behind me, the light was a much welcomed assistant to my photography giving the berries amazing color and allowing the frost gathering on the plants a neat contrast. Next time I go out, though, jackets are a must have, along with a pair of hiking boots as I realized after taking these pictures that I was a long way from home.
