    Very pretty! (I looked at the photo for several minutes trying to figure out what kind of flower they were before they became ice crystal flowers.)

    The addition of the ice on the spent bloom with it’s particular shape makes a perfect ‘snowflake’!

    So beautiful. I love the monochromatic effect. We had similar weather here; the frost is beautiful but in a bittersweet way, and you’ve captured that so well here.

    Hi there – that’s a really great shot – I miss having a winter where it really does that cold – my wife and kids think I’m crazy!

    Cheers

      Are there places in your country where winter happens, or are you originally from the northern hemisphere?
