Adventures of a Middle-Aged Drama Queen: A Frosty Sunrise

I guess there's some benefits to living in the midwest when it gets to feeling like it's 100-degrees below zero outside....

...a frosty sunrise on the lake....

This morning, a fog rolled in - and because it was so cold, it "froze" on the trees...leaving the following gift for me when I woke up:

It was gone within a few minutes, as the sun came up and melted all of the frost. But wasn't it pretty while it lasted?!

Peace.
