Frosty Queen Anne's Lace

I wasn't thrilled when I first saw the landscape around the Cherry Valley Lodge in Newark Ohio this past weekend. A grassy field didn't seem to offer very good photographic opportunities. But on Sunday morning, after a hard frost, the landscape had drastically changed.

 


Although the day was mostly cloudy, the sun did shine bright early in the morning. By the time I took this photograph, it had risen high enough to be partially diffused by thin clouds.

I think I'll be using this shot for this week's photography assignment for my class that I'm talking at Columbus State.

As I explored the area around the lodge further, I did find some very interesting things. I'll think I'll save those pictures for tomorrow's wordless Wednesday!

  3. Nice photograph. Queen Anne's Lace is a magnificent plant I think but also think it was introduced like the dandelion. Not sure on this.

  4. Abraham,

    Queen Anne's Lace is most definitely NOT a native species. In fact, it is on the Department of Agriculture's noxious weed list!
