Painted in Ice (Macro Monday)

IMG_5869


We had a nice heavy frost one morning and I thought it looked pretty!

I did zip in for a macro, but honestly I like seeing all the wisps better.

    Looks like old-fashioned lace, doesn't it? I'm surprised you had frost like this so late in the year...but I guess it is only mud May. (It has been a warm spring in Ontario.)

    What WONDERFUL crystal views ... not something I'm likely to see where I live though it DID drizzle much of today so I didn't get things planted as I'd intended to do.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Reminds me of teeny tiny feathers or itsy bitsy evergreen leaves. :)
    Excellent shots Lisa!

    I took some photos of jack frost's artwork this winter too. It is amazing what mother nature can do with a bit of cold weather and water. Yours are great.

    Frosty photos...nice stuff Lisa. Glad that's all behind us. I prefer the wind and sun in my face as I ride my bicycle wearing shorts.

    Beautiful! The second one in particular does look like little fronds of fern or conifer.

    The pretty patterns might be the ONLY good thing about frost. Bring on summer, I say! But the photos are gorgeous.

    Frost...brrrr but I agree they make great photos with all different crystals
    My favourite is the first one with the crystals a bit away and where you can se a bigger part of the frost
    Hope it's over soon, I would not appreciate frost right now though I know it might happen

    Wow, you had a very heavy late frost, didn't you? We've been pretty lucky here (so far) with the spring frosts this year. Nothing like that! My wisteria blossom is still intact!

    Beautiful photos. I like the macro best! :)

    You thought right! In the second shot the frost looks like cedar needles. (Or is it frost on cedar? Either way...)
