Ice Crystals by kwind

Ice Crystals

I must start by saying THANK YOU for your kind words and favs on yesterday's shot. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

It was COLD here yesterday and our glass deck railing was frozen with ice crystals. Nature is such an amazing thing! It looks a lot better enlarged against black, if you have time. The formations remind me of ferns.
This is so pretty! Nature is so beautiful! Wonderful capture

Love these! We call them ice flowers and they seemed so mystical when I was a child. You have captured them beautifully!

We have not had one bit of snow yet so That means no snowflake macro! I just took a macro one of frost with my phone the other day though! That will have to tide me over. :) this is beautiful. :)
January 8th, 2016  
OH MY! This is so much better than mine. I love the clarity of the frost - that is what I was trying to achieve. But it was too cold to stand outside and try for long, lol. Beautiful! I had to peak and look at your settings too. Maybe next time I can do better. :-)
January 8th, 2016  
OMG I feel cold now!

I would have thought they were ferns at first. Beautiful. I am glad the cold is not as frequent here as it is in Alberta, but I do love when the frost comes out to play.
