xoB and the WaPo Day in Pics present us with this fine photo, for which the official caption reads: Frozen droplets of fog form a rime frost on the mane of a horse in a field at the Avalon Therapeutic Equestrian Center outside Watertown, Wis.

The things you learn from IotD. Before doing it I had been unaware of the term "rime frost", but on 2/11/2004 we called it hoarfrost. An online dictionary says "hoar" and "hoarfrost" are synonyms for "rime"

Anyway, this hoar horse is a fine shot, and it calms me.
