Visualize this: The night has been cold and crisp. A super cooled mist has wafted in on a gentle breeze and sunrise is at hand. A thin cloud cover blocks the view of the rising sun but presents a bright gray sky. The world has a ghostly appearance. Frost covers everything in sight. This is no ordinary frost. This is hoarfrost, the kind that is built of billions of tiny icicles that cling to every naked branch and twig in the slumbering woods beside the road. The thin clouds dissipate as the sun climbs into the sky. Slivers of sunlight filter through the trees transforming the ghostly forest into a brilliant display of all the world’s diamonds that emit a myriad of colors through tiny prisms. What could be more spectacular?
