Frost Flower

On the first decent frost of the winter, one finds these frost flowers

scattered amongst the leaf litter on the forest floor. They are

extruded frozen sap from certain plants. Once the sun comes out, they

evaporate and will not be seen until next year. A fleeting moment in

the forest.

Such an unusual subject. The lighting could have been better. May be backlighting would have shown the delicate nature.
