Taking pictures of plants covered in frost and the odd snowflake and ice crystal is not the normal course of events for either 'Pup or me. Still, we walked out Saturday morning and did our best, trying to beat the sun. It was still below freezing, but where the sun could reach the leaves, the ice was melting. Some of it, the most delicate of the frost crystals seemed to be immediately sublimated into the air, evaporating at the first touch of sunlight.

I swear, I do not know what the world would be like without digital cameras. They, along with computers, are some of the most wonderful technology out there. It allows even me to take some halfway decent pictures and allows me the freedom to take as many as I need to get a decent picture.

How'd I do?

When Houston Freezes Over..

It did! It friggin' snowed in Houston, in December!

Now, mind you, this is the first time this has happened since...well...the Native Americans didn't keep records of it that we can access....so it's the first time EVER this early in December and only the second time ever IN December, and it's all happened within ONE Decade.
