A Touch of Frost


"Under clear frosty nights in winter soft ice crystals might form on vegetation or any object that has been chilled below freezing point by radiation cooling. This deposit of ice crystals is known as hoar frost and may sometimes be so thick that it might look like snow. The interlocking ice crystals become attached to branches of trees, leafs, hedgerows and grass blades and are one of the most prominent features of a typical 'winter wonderland' day. However, the fine 'feathers', 'needles' and 'spines' might also be found on any other object that is exposed to supersaturated air below freezing temperature." via Weather Facts from Weather Online.

Greg, you have reminded me of a beauty I have too long ignored ... You've captured such mystery in all this cold ... Well done .... You must have electric socks and gloves as part of your kit ... John S. gmv

Many thanks for your comments & I'm glad you liked them. As of late I was bemoaning the lack of real photo opportunities here in the frozen north--and then this happened.
