Cold and delicate. So beautiful, Karen!
Thank you, Ray. You are right about cold! : )
How low does the temperature have to be, Karen, for these flowers to grow? I’ve never seen such a thing in reality. As well as blossoms they remind me of feathers and leaves.
Beautiful images as usual.
Glacially stunning.
Great photos. I really like your creative eye. -Max-
Very beautiful.
Totally amazing!! Never seen anything like it!
Awesome and amazing. The detail in these photos is incredible – good work! : )
Chillingly beautiful!
Exquisite Karen. Superbly captured. 🙂
I like the way you make every opportunity a creative one and explore whatever is presented to you.
You certainly do have cold don’t you.. these fernlike frost blooms are lovely
Fascinating. Beautiful. A little scary, too: how unimaginably cold it must be…
I love how you expose nature’s clandestine manoeuvres, Karen. So delicate and utterly alien-seeming.
Frost flowers indeed! Amazing Karen.
so beautiful!
gorgeous artworks Karen!
These images make me love deep winter!
In close up, they look like pencil drawings, especially the second one 🙂
A Midwinter Night’s Dream.
they are like paintings! or drawings like Gigi said
Thanks for catching up with my blog, I really appreciate the comments! I’m really looking forward to exploring more of Marija’s blog as well, so thank you for sending that link. After seeing your frost flowers yesterday, I looked more closely
at the frost on my windows this morning. You capture them so beautifully.
Even though the images are silvery grey, there are so many colours in them. beautiful subtlety.
They remind me of jelly fishes in a tank … (don’t ask me why 😉 )
they really do look just like flowers! You really find the subtle, delicate beauty in every tiny thing, Karen!
Awesome post! I will keep an on eye on your blog.
Mysteriously beautiful. Great shots Karen.
Amazing images Karen ! They really look like feathers. The first and third images are extremely beautiful !
Is it really our planet? HEHEHE. So mysterious. 🙂
Loved these photos. 🙂
These photographs make me want to cry…beautiful music.
And header image is very nice!
Hauntingly beautiful!
Hi Karen – These are beautiful – like engravings on frosted glass. Like some of your other comments I have never seen these in reality!
Cheers
