While out wondering around on a foggy Duluth day, I came upon this broken and twisted clump of trees. I felt it had so much character, especially in the fog.

Spring brings certain simple pleasures along with the warming weather. One of my favorites is the emergence of the pussy willows. There is that brief period when they break open to expose the little fuzzy precursor to the actual leaf. When harvested in this state and kept dry, they will last for months. However, if you add water to the container they will continue their natural path to leafing out.

Embracing winter is one of the keys to surviving and keeping one’s sanity in the cold north. Being willing to see beauty in the ice and snow, be willing to endure the frigid temps and howling winds will open the photographer to rewarding opportunities.

As much as the entire landscape was beautifully coated in hoarfrost, there is an amazing amount of beauty to be found when you get up close to the frost. Although not seen in this image, when I examined it more closely, I discovered that it is made up of tiny, snowflake shaped ice crystals stuck together.
