Closer

How does nature do this? While we slept there were things happening in my garden last night. These tiny little icicle "thorns" were forming.

The closer you look the more wonderful the details are

    I agree with ELK, Mother Nature is the ultimate artist.
    You did a pretty darn good job capturing her work.
    Happy weekend!

    It's just amazing what we wake up to every morning, isn't it? Sometimes a gorgeous sunrise, sometimes 5 feet of snow, and sometimes little jewels like those! WONDERFUL shots!

    They look vicious and beautiful at the same time. I really do wonder how they form like that. I bet there's a time lapse video out there somewhere....

    It’s wonderful this happens over night. It's nature’s own top-secret mission working under the cover of darkness while everyone sleeps.

    Nature is truly creative, don't you think? How wonderful of you to share it with us! I saw photos of thorny frost a few months back, I'll have to see if I can find them again.

    I was able to capture some snowflakes before Christmas, and it's amazing to see each one up close, just like your spiky crystals.
