Following the unseasonably warm weather Manitoba enjoyed in November, winter has offered up a rudely cold awakening this December as the temperatures have dipped below -20 C much of this week. 

While I am no fan of the extra-chilly weather, I must admit to being pleased with the dropping mercury as it allows me to enjoy the frosted-over windows of my porch every winter. 

There is so much variety in the swirls, fans and forms that take shape on the window panes when the temperatures drop below -20 C, and it’s always a pleasure to shoot with my macro lens. I like to think of it as nature’s cold-weather easel.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
