It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas 2012 - Frosty elm 2012-11-28 - From E. Fortune Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. After being hollered at by a number of people to get out and take pictures of the incredible morning, I stepped outside to find the huge old elm on neighboring Roseland Plantation - historically the name of John and Missy Arnold's delightful town farm, full of mistletoe and frost coated. That's the famed twin chimneys at Roseland's manor house in the bottom of the frame. And yes, as predicted by wife Linda just a few minutes earlier, the frost will disappear, only to be replaced by beautiful blue winter skies and a relatively balmy day. Makes one want to do a few lines of Messiah Sing, early. - Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
