Frost on the Recycle Bin
/Last week when I went out to retrieve our recycle bin (the truck comes around 6:30 AM!), I noticed that frost has accumulated on the black lid. It didn’t look too promising….just a thin film of frost. But with a magnifier it was much more interesting! I already had my phone with me; the clip-on magnifying lens and clicker were in the pocket of the fleece vest I was wearing. I took advantage of the outdoor light before I pushed the bin into the garage.
It was close to the time the middle school bus was due in the neighborhood and a boy was waiting for it – apparently listening to music through earbuds. I smiled at him but didn’t interrupt his morning. He probably wondered why I was so interested in the top of the recycle bin!
It felt good starting the day noticing something…. photographing it… catching the serendipity of icy crystals before they melted.
