Like Rural rambler said we havent had enough moisture to see these this year! But they are so cool! I remember the first time I saw a frost flower I was just in awe! Cool Pictures as always!
Oh How cool GAIL!!! I think I JUST saw some of that stuff on my Sunset trail ride, 2 hours ago...it was geting rather cold, and I looked down and thought, "Oh, litter!" Then, as the mare and me walked by it, I thought it looked like the forelock of a white horse, that had his trimmed today.."but how'd it get out here?" I knew better...so, it had to be Hoarfrost...it was puffy and spun looking! If it weren't for YOU- posting about it so often, with the neat pics...I would have negatively thought...litter!
Showed my husband just now. He said, " I wonder how it tastes?"
What a poetic, pictoral essay. Gail, I think this is what makes you come alive - photography, your animals, your home, and writing about them. Carry on!
Gosh. They're even more spectacular then the last pictures you showed us!

I am so intrigued by hoarfrost of which I have never seen even though I live close to your state and have been in your state many times.
So my question is, why do you get this miracle of nature and others don't? Just wondering. :)
Very cool.

Never seen anything like that...really cool...created by the air movement??

It's really incredible. It's a good thing you have the photos to prove it or we wouldn't believe it. It's like Mother Nature made pots and vases.

This looks like a cocoon. Very impressive works of art that only Mother Nature can provide!

They're such amazing formations. I've never seen anything that thick before; usually, it's just a light sparkle around here.

Icy cotton candy wrapped around unsuspecting plants! This phenomena has always amazed me. Beautiful capture girl!
God bless and enjoy this beautiful day!!!

This looks like cotton candy! The hoar frost I saw looked a lot different from this!
