"The questions worth asking, in other words, come not from other people
but from nature, and are for the most part delicate things
easily drowned out by the noise of everyday life."
Robert B. Laughlin
On Wednesday I drove to Lee Vining and Mono Lake in search of hoar frost...
the frost that occurs in freezing temperatures with fog...
delicate and lacy...
easily disturbed by the merest human touch...

ReplyDeleteSo unusual to see the limbs of a tree white against the sky behind. Lovely. Hope that 'critter' in yesterday's photo isn't about. I'm thinking it was a bear! Have a lovely weekend!
