Ice crystals on green is a rare thing!
three mornings in a rowminus temperatures in October
-3F -4F -5F
have I told youhow I love
how I wait
for the arrival
of
ice crystals
this is early in the seasonyet they grow
they grow through the nightglorified in sunlight
a magical delight
for mewhat absorbs my attention
my heart
makes me forget that my fingers
and toes
are frozen
is a bit of life that has my devotion

Oh my!! What FANTASTIC images Tammie. I have not seen somethings so beautiful for ages!!
ReplyDeletesimply awesome!!! my little boys would love this!
ReplyDeleteThe ice crystals are like feathers from the angels, blessing the way of the Heart and to all that is Green in our Nature.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking. Looks like lacy jewelry .
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots !! Nice one..Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crystals. We may wonder how they get this form.
ReplyDeleteLooks very beautiful, but aren't it too early to have frost?
ReplyDeleteLovely and magical.
ReplyDeleteThey look like faery feathers! Such beautiful images!
ReplyDeletePopping over from Mrs.B's to say oh my! Those are the most spectacular photos ever! Your work is just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteIs there anything more transient or more beautiful?....oh, oh, oh,
ReplyDeleteme gosh!!!
Truly magical!
ReplyDeleteRare I guess! Your photos would be beauiful even without the green. The crytals are the best I have seen. It must be just enough moisture and that extreme cold.
ReplyDeleteSo far, we have only had two light frosts. I didn't get any good shots either time.
Oh Tammie..you have outdone yourself here - these are just beyond stunning!! Wow girl!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarah
You're gifted with an amazing skill!
ReplyDeleteThose icy mornings yield such beauty ... thank you for capturing the magic and sharing it with us! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the cold and to go up early morning only to find out that there is frost on the grass.
ReplyDeleteThanks for continuously sharing inspiring posts.
Truly beautiful - nature's jewels of diamonds on emeralds.
ReplyDeleteOh god, so gorgeous. You are filling me with longing for the winter! Sigh. I wish I had a camera. :(

ReplyDeleteSuch pictures are exceedingly beautiful - and not easy to take.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I love the one where you can see very clearly the detail in the crystals. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I looked at a snowflake under a microscope one day - I was afraid to walk on snow for weeks I didn't want to "break" them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip down memory lane!
How lovely! These are magnificent! I love frost and you captured it superbly!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this, Tammie. Absolutely wonderful! And so soon - we are having an Indian summer here in the UK and you already have minus temperatures! These crystals must make up for the cold, and your photographs are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJanice.
Oh my God I cant believe them, so beautiful, so fragile. How did you get them??
ReplyDeleteOh my -3?? Already?? What gorgeous shots you got Tammie. Rare and special :)
ReplyDeletewhat stunning photos, what cold temperatures for october!
ReplyDeleteTammie, I am never disappointed when I visit! What a treat you've given me - I've never seen ice crystals on green - those fern-like shapes and glistening jewels are amazing. I'm so glad you knew to look closely for these crystals.
ReplyDeleteMINUS degrees in FAHRENHEIT!? And I was complaining this morning about minus degrees in Celsius! Thanks for the reality check!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the crystals. That's one of my goals for this winter - to look for and photograph ice crystals. Thai is great inspiration!
Just gorgeous and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat Fotos...
ReplyDeleteOh my God Tammie, this is the first I see pictures like these....they are .... well words fail me. Gorgeous, breathtaking! What an amazing day to start your day with gifts like these. Be well Dagmar

ReplyDeleteI love the lacy shape of these little ice crystals. They are so delicate, and form so magically over night, only to be gently melted by the morning sun.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning....thanks a tonne for sharing this wonder. I would love to wait for those too, but it never happens in this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteWow! so beautiful ice...I have never seen ice on grass. Here in India we are celebrating Diwali, the festval of Light.

ReplyDeleteWhen you see the ice forming like that it brings to mind how the nature of water may too give the form to the plants and trees as they too follow this form.
ReplyDeletelovely photos.
The ice crystals are so pretty.
