The Ephemera of Frost and Ice

Frost is ephemeral, particularly the hoar frost that coats plants with a layer of crystals. It can vanish quickly so I always try to rush out and get a few photos when it occurs. I never succeed in capturing what I see, but I keep trying!

Wonderful gallery of magical crystaline images, all tiny and delicate, but as beautiful as the great snow covered trees. V
