That is an interesting (if temporary) yard sculpture! You have a great eye!

Michelle said...

Frost is nature's art and who can compete with that?!

Dimple said...

You both remind and inspire me! Frost is fascinating!

Jack said...

Isn't that interesting. I would not have thought to capture this.

Jan said...

Me, too. We don't get frost, often, but I find it fascinating, too. Great photo.

MarieElizabeth said...

Those are really big crystals. I love how the ice is a new subject every day.

That is particularly fascinating frost. I thought it was fancy sugar on a fancy truffle, at first! Very nifty shot.

Frost and rust: what an intriguing combination!

Lorna said...

Rust (and frost) never sleeps.

Wonderful detail and light of the frost!

It looks like a pastry!

Looks like sugar, fantastic photo.

Liz said...

at first by the thumbnail i thought it was a cake or something.

nice capture.

Lisa said...

I love this ..

Andrea said...

Very beautiful, i can just scrape it for my shake! Frost is alien to us, and we go to snowparks just to feel how cold is cold, so we can relate to fellow humans living in your situations, haha!

Randy said...

Amazing photograph!

Christina, Sweden said...

At first I thought it was a rough cookie covered with canded sugar :-) frost always amazes!

Nicolette said...

Beautiful photo, love the colours in the background and the contrast between the rust and the frost...

Maaike said...

your frost looks like sugar

VP said...

You caught something very usual in a new amazing way: you can feel the frost...

Fantastic frost picture!

cieldequimper said...

Hey, that looks really good!

Father Christmas has looked more or less like that for a long, long time (old engravings show him just like that but with a darker red. So the brighter red is probably imported from Coca Cola land).

Looks like a tasty delight, like crystallized sugar over a bit of chocolate! Very nice! Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Cathy

Gemma Wiseman said...

This reminds me of a layered chocolate cake with fancy icing! How clever is Nature! Beautiful photo!

Hootin Anni said...

If there is one thing I shudder at is the thought of my warm skin touching frozen metal!! Fantastic photo tho.

My Macro Monday Link Do stop by for a visit if you can find time. Happy Holidays!

Beautiful in its simplicity. I like it.

Lowell said...

That's exactly what Jack Frost's girlfriend said. That's not, however, what Robert Frost's girlfriend said. She was mad 'cause he lost his warmth!

Seriously, I do like the frost on the nut.

Have a great day!

Sugar or salt crystals---it is fascinating. Great close-up. MB

WOW, FROST FOREVER! Well, until spring comes which it must for the sake of our sanity!

Rachel said...

The frost looks so much like tiny crystals. Nicely done.
