  Hoarfrost / “Frost is to dew as snowflakes are to raindrops. When water vapor condenses into liquid water, you get raindrops and dew. When water vapor condenses directly into ice, then you get snowflakes and frost (see the Snowflake Primer). Snowflakes are not frozen raindrops, and likewise frost is not frozen dew. / When frost forms as minute ice crystals covering the ground, we just call it all frost. But sometimes the frost grains grow larger and are called hoarfrost crystals. Good hoarfrost is not that uncommon if you watch for it. Hoarfrost grows whenever it’s cold outside and there is a ample source of water vapor nearby.” I got this description from the internet. We only see this a couple of times a year. To have it happen when there is actually time to capture it is a wonderful thing. I appologize for so many of these posts, but I could not help myself! It was a beautiful day here yesterday (Dec.26) so I first set out to my garden and then off to the bush to see what I could find. I will be posting many more shots over the next few days…....don’t want to put too many on all at once. I hope you all enjoy my Holiday Frost Collection. /

  I absolutely can not believe it… but I just signed on to discover that my fractal Modern Hoarfrost has been featured, of all places, on the Features Gallery !!! OMG !! I am in complete and utter shock !! I never, in a thousand years, expected to see that happen with one of my fractals. Never, ever. Ever. And if I had any idea who to thank for this I would, but all I can do is offer one big, huge, gigantic thank you to Redbubble. So… thanks Redbubble !!
