Or "Hoar Frost" as it's called around here. (maybe around your area too).
When DH and I moved here, the first winter we had this phenomenon and must have taken 100 pictures. It's so neat to see. We've had fog for the past 2 days with temps in the 20's , so it just settles on the branches forming tiny ice crystals. It is crystal clear above the fog, and the sun is trying to peek through today, so it will probably be gone this afternoon.
Looks like a flocked Christmas tree, huh?

Anne,
So pretty, its cold here, but not so pretty. Enjoy!
OMG that is just beautiful! I learned something new today. Thanks.
I love, love, love that frost! I like to call it Fairy Frost and I think they should change the name. (:
It looks cold...but it is beautiful!! Weather here...low 70's.
My mom took a million pictures of that when she first moved to Bend too. I love the flocked looking tree the best!
We do have the fog and ice crystals but not to the extent of yours ..the photos are beautiful.

LOVE the pictures! It's beautiful! We had fog, but no pretty frost like that. Yesterday the WIND was horrible! Horrible I tell ya. ;o) ooxx`jodi
Thanks for sharing the pictures....nothing like that here (mainly because it is summer with 100F forecast for today)....but even in winter I have never seen anything like that .......so pretty!
That is amazing and so so pretty! I agree with Anne S - fairy frost is more appropriate!!
Anne, Those pictures are simply postcard....something so beautiful that you pick up at the drug store...but rarely see in person. I'll trust in your photos!
Isn't that beautiful! I grudgingly concede that there may be some good things about winter :)
How amazing! Beautiful photos. I have never seen that before, but then it doesn't get that cold here where I live. (Melbourne, Australia) Today was 35c, too hot!
We get freezing fog too, but we haven't gotten much in the way of any precipitation this year. In fact here in Oklahoma we are in a drought! Beautiful pictures!

WOW, the pictures are awesome. I have never seen or heard of Hoar Frost. It sure is beautiful
We have that here too, but I have never seen the crystals as long as your photos. I never seem to have my camera on the mornings it so beautifully appears. Stunning photos!
Those photos are beautiful!! And did you say hoar fog?? lololol!!!! Sorry. I agree with Anne Fairy frost sounds so much nicer.
Oh my - it's just beautiful!
