I had originally intended to drive out along Apple Creek to try taking pictures of pretty frosty trees. Then I formulated a different plan: run over to the cross country ski trail between Bismarck and Mandan! But sadly, the trees along that path didn’t have any frost clinging to them.

It was back to plan A, although it was nearly dark, when I came along this lonely barbed wire fence east of Bismarck. The frost on this barbed wire came in the form of long, spiky formations. I got out of the truck to visually inspect the fence, leaving my camera on the seat. Once I got a good look at the fence, however, I literally dashed back to get my gear and take a bunch of cool photos such as the one above.

It’s getting late now so I’m only going to post the one, but who knows…maybe one of the other photos of the fence or posts will make its way into a future entry.
