The frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind.

Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

That's like snow buds. Great capture.
Such a beautiful photo - I expect to see a little ice fairy on one of the branches!
I just love this look in the winter with the sun shining behind and the quote makes it all more mysterious. Thank you for sharing!

What a pretty shot of the frost. I hate to say though, it can make an exit any time now. I am ready for spring... :(
