Between Rocky and Rimbey, the forests were covered in a thin, sparkly frost. Not the heavy hoar frost of a week or so ago, but a thin coating that made the trees look bright white against the dull grey of the overcast sky.
The mild temperatures of the last few weeks may be pleasant, but when the temperatures drop enough to dress the trees.....well, it is almost worth having to bundle up a bit more.
Closer to home, the sun was shining and the trees were naked again.
Along the final 3 miles, I found some trees who were still hanging onto a few of their leaves from last summer......
I always love the contrast of the white bark on these poplars (?) against the dark green of the evergreens.
And finally, a fence post, leaning into the ditch. No animals are kept in the field behind this fence, so I doubt the farmer will be straightening the post this spring.
