Frost as flowers

The sunlight in the morning is melting away the frost on the thin branches and makes the branches shine.

The breathing of the earth at night bring the frost on the branches and the sunlight in the morning make them look like flowers.

By the way, when a tea ceremony is hold in a tea house, one of two piece(s) of flower is/are decorated at the alcove, Tokonoma. But when snow falls, some tea masters don't decorate any flower at it. (It snows in Kyoto twice or three in a year.) Why? Because snow covers all the surface outside and shines beautifully. So there are no need to put the flowers inside the house any more. The tea spirit prefer the simple beauty to the excessive one.
