The Beauty of Icicles
I looked out at the garden this morning and discovered that the garden was coated with an icing, as well as the lawn. It was a beautiful morning, sunny and calm, but pretty cold. As much as I had to work against the sun that was rising and melting the tiny icicles and everything it touched, I tried not to walk on the lawn or disturb the crystal-coated leaves and spent flowers. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. There will be another frost tomorrow, but the ice crystals will not form the same way.
Here are some of the crystal displays putting Swarovski to shame.
Petals and Wings 
They all look sugar coated! Almost dessert like. Others like the salt on a Margherita glass rim. Makes me think of the Holidays…too much eating and drinking. Thanks for always making my eyes happy with your beautiful images. I am grateful to see them throughout your planting year.
They are fascinating, especially when you enlarge the photos, you can see the different designs of each delicate ice crystal. I thought of Margheritas also when I saw the one on the grass.
Ah lovely! Winter has some beautiful moments.
Nature has never ceased to amaze me.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
