this past week
deep cold temperatures have filled our days and nights
the perfect environment for
crystals to manifest
unique from all i have seen in the past
a bit like the beauty of moths wings
layer after layer of beauty came to be
each unique
fragile delights
below the ponds surface
bubbles frozen in time
meadows tall grasses lay down
under the weight of galaxies of crystal beings
their presence inspires joy
awe
below the ice, a strawberry leaf
and fuzzy snowflakes on the surface
~
if you look at my last post
there is a photo of the ponds surface
now look at how many crystals have formed:
daily
they grow and change

I feel that way also Tomás
DeleteSuch amazing ice crystals in their diversity and astonishing beauty!
ReplyDeleteI have no words again! What a beautiful world we are living in! Having seen all these marvellous photos of yours, it's not very pleasant to know what we are smashing with our feet, while walking...:(
ReplyDeletei think of that too Rossichka, walking on crystals or in a field of flowers, it just seems wrong.
DeleteGorgeous series!

DeleteA whole universe of wonder in ever changing ice crystals, everything from the most delicate lace, through prickly cactus to silver dollars. You are so rich with this ever changing beauty all around you Tammie.
ReplyDeleteExquisite photos, Tammie! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are really neat pictures!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! This is truly fascinating - a crystal garden has replaced the wildflowers for the winter! Keep snug Tammie!

yes, they grew thicker everyday, it was amazing to watch Felicia. Last night we got some snow and now the crystals live under that blanket, hidden from our eyes.
ReplyDeletethank you every one!
ReplyDeleteWow- these lovely, fragile crystals are amazing in their ephemeral beauty! I have never seen anything quite like this before.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking images! Magical!
ReplyDeleteSuch fragile beauty!
ReplyDeleteOh Tammie Lee, the magic that is found when we take the time to LOOK for it! We could either stomp over this beauty as we go about our daily business, or we could stop, as you did, to find diamonds in the snow. It is a miracle, almost as if little elves, fairies, angels of spirits of some kind have diamond cut each crystal! Lovely my friend....and thank you so much for coming by again. I have been so inundated with my job that I find I can only post every 2-4 weeks now. How I love blogging, but I am so unable these days to post more often. But I AM HERE! And enjoying it....
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful... xxx
ReplyDeleteYou show a unique universe of icy delight! Fabulous captures, Tammie.
ReplyDeleteThe element of water is such a gift ... in *so* many forms!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
As always.
I'm in total awe Tammie (and green with envy)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures.
Here in the U.K lots of folk have woken to the first hard frost of the year, where I am it's just misty. My day will come soon.
Hi Tammie!!! I love these shots of the frost. I hope you have a beautiful Monday :)
ReplyDeleteJust amazing to see, Tammie. I find it hard to imagine the coldness required to create such beauty.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, almost like a mysterious life-form. I hope we have ice this year, it does appear often here in the winters of East Tennessee.
