Cuphea hybrida (Mexican cigar plant var: Cubano Cristo')

It's been foggy in Vancouver for the last couple of days and when it dips below freezing overnight, these are perfect conditions for creating frost. I woke up this morning to a Mexican cigar plant showing the after-effects.

I put this Cuphea out in early June to benefit our local Annas hummingbird, Arnie. It worked like a charm and I last saw Arnie about ten days ago. I've heard that you can bring a Cuphea indoors during the winter and treat it like a houseplant. I'm going to give it a try. I've put it in a sunny window that should make a Mexican cigar plant very happy.

The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.

Short forest run inbetween marking student papers. Temperatures were well below freezing, but the hoar-frost created a beautiful atmosphere.

Hoarfrost - January 2014 There were a number of hoarfrosts while we were living in Cresco, Iowa. I took a lot of pictures of the long frost needles. The hoarfrost near the beginning of Janauary in 2014 wasn’t one of the biggest with long, long ice needles, but it did give many interesting images, including this image of the clock tower of Immanuel Lutheran Church as seen through a frost-covered branch.
