Finding beauty in the cold. I bundled up and took my camera out for a walk but the fresh window frost seemed to hold the most intrigue. It is lovely too, along the river’s edge where the water moves so fast that the cold can’t hold it still. It seems like a good time to make soup!

Thank you for sharing these fabulous frosty ferns.
Magnificent patterns, Karen. Nature’s works of art and you’ve captured them with great attention to composition and light.
Number 4 reminds me of a scene in the original Journey To The Center Of The Earth.
Your frost shots are always so ‘cool’
Such beautiful images Karen. Wishing you a very happy healthy and prosperous new year! 🙂
Breathtaking images.
These are whole worlds in themselves, sometimes like metal or old sewn tapestries,very deep and involving. I just saw
Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, and I hope you can see it. I have a feeling you’d find much to love about the film. Wishing you a creative, fruitful 2018, Karen!
Magical images, nature’s glorious symphony found in frost…the magic of winter’s season.
