Frost is a beautiful winter condition that unexpectedly pops up throughout the colder months. While frost can be simply defined as water vapor that has become solid, when you walk through a prairie of frost-covered plants and trees, you know it is not simple at all. It is intricate, beautiful, and creates an atmosphere of delicacy. Enjoy these images taken in the early morning sun with shimmering snow and a calm Lake Michigan.
Visit and discover a frost-filled morning for yourself!
