Under the clear frosty nights in winter, soft ice crystals form on objects that have been chilled below freezing point, this is known as hoar frost and looks very much like snow, it attaches to trees grasses etc., and this was the magical scene in Glen Dochart last Saturday.
I took this shot whilst Doug was paddling around in the water with his wellies on. LOL

Unbeaten photograph by an unbeatable photograher!
I did not know the term hoar frost. Thanks. In Dutch we call it 'rijp' (pronounce ripe). Quite some years ago in the northern part of The Netherlands there was so much 'rijp'that the trees could not carry the weight. After the ripe thawed away the trees looked like a hurricane passed by.
