Nature's Artwork

Rock County residents awoke Monday morning to more of nature’s artwork after a foggy Sunday night resulted in a generous coating of ice crystals on grass blades, tree branches and fence lines. These images were captured east of the Luverne City Park along the east bank of the Rock River. Hoar frost derives from the old English word “hoary,” meaning getting on in age. With this thought in mind, many trees, especially evergreens, did present a "hair-like" appearance resembling white, feathery beards.
