Hoar Frost in Minnesota

This past weekend was very gray but, with dense freezing fog, it made for some beautiful sightseeing. The fog freezes slowly, creating beautiful crystals on tree branches and leaves that are much larger than snowflakes.

Freezing fog is rare here, but something I have seen quite a few times. This is the first time I was able to find a still-clinging leaf rimmed with frost like the salt on the rim of a margarita, though.

WIth fog still heavy in patches, the farm fields seemed to disappear into nothing. This next photo was taken at the edge of one of those fields. As I was leaving this one, a farm dog decided to run up and chase my vehicle. He's lucky I saw him before he leapt out into the road!

This next one is the best macro I was able to pull off, with the slight breeze wiggling the branches and the cold numbing my chilled hands. They have no circulation in cold weather, as a result of a bad case of frostbite when I was a kid.

Here is another macro of the end of a branch. If you view the high resolution, you can see the detail much better.

Even my town of Mankato looked prettier in the frost. Coming back into town, I decided to take a photo from the top of a parking garage in the downtown area. The fancy building at the top left is Mankato's old courthouse, which keeps watch over the downtown from its perch half-way up the bluffs.

After that, it was time to head home and find a way to warm my hands back up...

It's fun how frost looks different than snow!

But still looks cold. "Wow your photos are pure cold"

.. :D

I'm tired and my jokes are bad.

lol thanks. A couple of years ago, I was able to get a really close macro of an ice crystal that was a centimeter long. They weren't quite that large this time around, but it still makes for some chilly scenery.

Great shots! I've been trying my hands on some macro photography last couple of days but not yet confident enough to post anything.. ^^

Thanks! Macro is fun, but deceptively difficult. I'm hoping to get a stabilized macro lens some day.

@george-topalov · Jan 13 '21

Oh stabilized macro lens would sure be nice, even though it's been so windy here last few days, that even using a tripod makes focusing pretty hard. (was trying to catch some insects on leaves).

I would be in for some of that hand warming device after a walk in all that nice frost! Well done.  It does leave a special finish on every surface with all the fluffy crystal.

Working in refineries near large water cooling units, our sites gets it's own conditions and everything gets covered in that freezing mist.  I got my new cam btw.

Congratulations! Which camera did you decide to get? Have you gotten it all set-up the way you want, yet? All the buttons figured out?

I have a Canon RP right now and am waiting for the rumored "high resolution" one to come out this year for a new main camera. I'll have to replace some lenses, too, but that can be done over time.

I have the Nikon z6 no it's not really set up, I have been lazy and didn't even read the manual yet, but we can't really go anywhere. I did test it a bit...it's so great!! I'm using my old lenses and an adaptor for now but I do plan on upgrading them in time too if I like this tech.

Already camera shopping again!! Sometimes it's tough waiting for a tech to come out.  Replacing lenses is a fact of photography life, it's always so expensive too.  Your pretty happy with Canon eh?

What a beautiful post! Excellent photos. That fog must have covered the a huge part of the upper Midwest! I love the frosty shot of Mankato and the macros are delightful.

👍 dustbunny, fotosdenada

Thanks! We weren't actually supposed to have the dense fog. It was supposed to stay south and west of us, but we ended up with an entire weekend under it. It may be gloomy, but I'm not complaining.
