Ice Crystals

I love looking for ice crystals on plants when the temperatures go below freezing - just add an extra layer and I'm out hunting - they make the most interesting patterns. Knew where some red leaves were to headed there first.

Love the sparkly ice! I wonder if you did an alternate version and cut off the left and bottom so it makes a square, how it would be . . .

@milaniet - I'm so glad you like it -- I find that this square cropping really highlights those pointy, sharp edges in a way that magnifies the beauty.
