frozen

Remember that craze in the summer of freezing flowers?? I bunged some holly in a bowl and froze it last night. Forgot I should have used boiled water so no bubbles!

We're in Tier 4 now, so frozen out of mixing with society, unless I go to a supermarket- where a colleague caught the 'new varient'- so I'm going to be browsing recipe books to plan how to make fishfingers look and taste festive on 25th!

This is my last upload for the 52 week challenge- I even got my bucket list shot eventually. Thank you Mel for keeping the thread going as not many of us have managed to the end of the year.

I remember it as I tried it but this is fab.

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely capture (literally) of Christmas. Not tried freezing flowers yet. Thanks for the tip about boiled water.

[Kathy A]

Wow, this is pretty cool, literally and figuratively

[Babs]

I remember freezing flowers too but never got round to actually doing it. Maybe I will get chance over Christmas.

I love this result, looks like Christmas in an igloo.

[Clare Gadsby]

ugh so sorry to hear about tier 4 - we're still tier 2 but our children and parents in tier 4, so christmas cancelled :( what a year. absolutely love your image, though - have been meaning to have a go at frozen flowers so maybe i now will - thanks for the inspiration ;)

@m2016 Thank you so much Mel for posting the weekly prompts, I've managed eery one, mostly in order

[Sally Ings]

This looks quite festive. Maybe one day I will try freezing a flower. Although our restrictions haven't been increased by the powers that be, we are being very careful and not going out and about unnecessarily. Take care and stay safe

You have managed to capture Christmas in ice! I like the effect. He will just have to get on FaceTime more so you can share with family and friends. Adaptation is the key to survival.

[Anne]

I have never tried this Jackie, maybe I will. Liking this result. Boo to tier 4 :-(

[Merrelyn]

I only got as far as printing the instructions regarding flower freezing. I'll have to find the print out and give it a go. Stay safe Jackie.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cool.

[Jacqueline]

Pretty capture, all shops except the ones for food are closed here too.

[Caterina]

Very cute. Such a dreadful time, now with the new variant! Let’s hope that the vaccine will work despite the mutation

[Walks @ 7]

This creates a little world within your composition. I do very much like this. I hope you stay safe and sane during tier 4.

[Annie-Sue]

lovely winter dome!

[wendy frost]

Looks pretty in its wintery home. I am in tier 4 now from 2 thanking myself for getting all my shopping done.

[Kathy]

I like the idea of frozen items. It's hard for me to figure out exactly how to photograph them.

[Shutterbug]

The ice makes it look even more seasonal for those of us in the northern hemispere.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

I like it with the bubbles, makes it look like a snow globe!

Thank you all. It took all day for the ice bowl to melt, before I could throw away the holly.

[william wooderson]

I must say, you're very inventive in the name of photography!
