Re your "great" governor why not check out a truth-telling video titled Ron De Santis's Military Secrets: Torture and War Crimes. He is very much an agent/operative of the deep/dark state. And quite possibly a latent psychopath!

I lived in Scotland and so loved the hoar frost there in the gardens in Fife. Brings back lovely memories of some of the best years of my life. Maine , USA is my home but Scotland and the Isles are my second homes and I am filled with gratitude to have had many years there. Will be back to kiss the ground once more soon I hope. Thank you for these wonderful, inspiring, uplifting photo's.

I always wondered why it was called hoar frost. The hair connection makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing these photos.

Nice work. You might like this book by Eleanor Parker - Winters in the World, about winter and the Anglo-Saxons, and the rituals of their year. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/aug/25/winters-in-the-world-by-eleanor-parker-review-a-dive-into-the-anglo-saxon-year

All the best for Christmas and New Year.

Awesome! I live in Canada, and had never seen hoarfrost until we went home to my wife's family for xmas in Ireland in 2010.

It was the one compensation for the ridiculous weather that year.

Wonderful pictures all, but I’m still imagining walking that Boreen from yesterday’s post.

Thank you for sharing your landscape’s life in photos with us. A comfort to see and somehow so precious with blue sky surrounding. Hoar frost is the frozen version of dew, I suppose.

Beautiful! I was playing in the snow yesterday and the sunlight twinkling on the crystalline hoar on the snow made it easier for me to see that the whole landscape was alive and full of energy.

Your writing hut is one of the loveliest places to sleep Paul, so I'm glad for these reminders of the surrounding wonders. And the potcheen you have stashed away in the house.
