Bur Ice/ Macro Monday

Closeup of frost on bur

Mother Nature is still making ice sculptures here in Ontario. Is it my imagination, or do I see a tiny crystal jet about to take off? Take a closer look here...

Macro of ice on bur

Do you see it perched on the ice near the top middle of the photo?

    I did see the jet. Do you think it's for faeries, and such?

    Oh, your imagination is very vivid today!

    Just out of curiosity, would you mind sharing what kind of lens you use for your macros? I have been calling closely cropped close-ups macros but as a mentee in a photography mentoring program I've become involved in, I'm told that it's not so! Boo-hoo. Now I guess I need to invest in a good macro lens!
