Moss Frost
Two weekends ago we had a hard frost, or at least some did since there was none here on Harling Point. I found this frost near the south end of Wallace Drive in Saanich (or is that Central Saanich? – near the middle of this map). The road cuts through a mound of bedrock on its east side which is completely covered with thick native mosses. The light was quite bright, but diffused through a layer of cloud and the frosted moss stood out brightly against the darker forest and rock, pulling me in for a closer look.

Gorgeous shots! We never have frost like that here; I think it must depend on the amount of moisture in the air. What a great moment you have captured.

Hey Lynn – there is pretty much always moisture in the air around here. No need for humidifiers in pianos around here, for instance.
