Yesterday we had a mist. Today it is like the mist froze and fell down on the earth.This is not snow. Everything is covered under a thin white layer of frozen ice crystals from water that condensed out of the air. I am not sure what the English term is, it could be flash frost.

The swans were a little tense about us approaching their territory. The male did a show. He need not have worried, I wasn't too keen on getting any closer either.

  4. Beautiful footprints in the snow, I get to see them in sand some time. And those swans are gorgeous.

  5. @Pietro... but not as flat! Can you skate?

    @SMB - Is it "frost"? I thought frost was just the phenomenon of temperatures below freezing point... the English language is full of hidden subtleties!

    @ Sandy, yes the frost is very thick, it is almost like snow and the ice crystals grow quite big!

    @Indrani - thank you!
