A Visit From Jack Frost

The year 2014 began with freezing cold temperatures.  A surprise awaited me when I opened the front door to our home for the first time each day.  The intricate, beautiful handiwork of Jack Frost graced the glass, backlit by the rising sun or a still-gray sky.  I knew I had to work quickly to snap a picture--within seconds, the warmth from our home would soften and melt the ice crystals that formed during the night.  I was ready on January 4th to try and photograph some of those crystals.
