Frost and Traces

January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 | drawandshoot

Traces of this morning’s delicate frost fading on the window as the day starts to warm (above) and the frost before it starts to fade away.

I have made several hundred photographs of frost on this window over the years, some of which are posted here , but I hadn’t really noticed the traces that are left behind as it disappears.

Tiny icicles on the brink of melting away.

Mosaic patterns forming on the flora as the ice crowns begin to surrender to the warmth of the sun.
