Diamond Dust

| Flower Roberts

I have spent today in a frozen cloud. There are ice crystals on everything. I call this “diamond dust.”

Big crystals


Frozen fog makes the air white. Visibility is severly limited. It has been strange to be in a frosty cloud all day long. All sounds are muffled.

In a cloud.


Look how the frosty fog is clinging to the deck railing. It has stayed around 20° F all day.

Frozen Fog


Rose just informed me that more snow is expected here. I am content to stay inside to read and write. I can pace on the porch if I feel antsy.


This is my first big snow on the mountain. I am happy to be here to enjoy it.

Water and Ice

I am fascinated by water.  I call it the miracle molecule.

It is the only substance on Earth found in all three states (solid, liquid and gas) at natural temperatures.

Water molecules form a lattice as they freeze. This is why ice floats.

I could have stayed here all day watching the water flowing behind the ice sheets.

I love nature with all my heart.
