Spring Flowers, Montana Style

along the lake shore

kneeling

and 

what do I see

flowers!

(we are still under a foot or two of snow, 

so nothing is blooming yet)

under a layer of ice 

reflections of shadow and light

of snowflake like flowers

this little video reveals a bit of the beautiful story:

 (have your sound on
maybe click on the square under the video to see it large)

I was, still am thrilled by this sweet beauty

something I had never seen before

at home, while going through photos

I zoomed in to find small ice flowers on and in the 
surface layer of ice

they were too small or invisible for my eyes 

to see in person

these ice flowers are how the shadows came to be ...

maybe they are formed much like a snowflake?

have you ever seen this before?

seems like the art of fairy folk, to me.

I have so many gorgeous photos

too much for one post.....

do you have a favorite from the above photos?

our world

our precious world

full of endless treasures to bring joy to our hearts

and inspire our minds

nature, truly a spirit helper
