Jack Frost
Elfin pictures on the pane
Mean Jack Frost has come again;
Lace and ferns and vines and flowers,
Snow-capped peaks and fairy bowers.
.
Castles gleaming opalescent,
Rivers flowing iridescent;
Jewels set in filigree,
All in crystal fantasy.
.
A Year With the Fairies.

Help! I can no longer “see” thing on WordPress! Why is that? I am going to ask my busy followers – maybe they have some idea. At first I thought it was just a little something, but now it has gone on for days and I am sad and sorry that I can’t look at posts, most comments, or anything else. How did I get crosswise of WordPress?

Delightful!
Glad you like Jack Frost!
Elephant

The baubles around Jack look suspiciously planetary. I love the citadels too.
Yes, they are planets!

LOVE the movie Rise of the Guardians, only because I LOVE the way they portrayed Jack Frost. ❤ He's my favorite! 🙂
Is he nipping at your nose?

“Jack Frost painted pictures on my window pane last night…” I don’t remember the rest of the poem. Along with single pane windows, gone are the days I can wake to find beautiful pictures on my window on a cold winter morning. Jack frost pictures on the kitchen window are a treasured childhood memory. It’s a shame that young children in their cozy homes with insulated windows miss this treat.
I hadn’t thought about this. You are right there is a price to pay for an energy efficient home. Maybe kids can find Jack Frost elsewhere – let’s hope!
