What a Beautiful Way to Start the Day

DH and I got up early today for an appointment. When we went outside, the cars were glazed over with ice. The frost patterns on the roof and windshield were so beautiful it was almost a shame to scrape the window and turn on the car. What a great world this is that Nature can create such beautiful art for us on a daily basis. I'm so glad I was able to get some photos of it. Nature's art is beautiful but temporary. One thing is certain, with the constant rotation of days, seasons, and years, the art show never gets boring. It's amazing how a little beauty to start the day can make all the rest of it more pleasant. :-)

Ice on the Windshield – by GoGirl

Nature’s feathered frosting
Has fallen in the night
Glazing glass, graying leaves
Granting morning beauty.
Love it, admire it
Before it melts away.
The warming Dawn
Promises beauties of her own.
Night’s artwork will not linger,
Sunshine droplets will slide
Glinting molten gold to reveal
A new view through the windows.
