That is amazing, it is just like feathers 🙂
🙂 You probably don’t get the extremely cold weather that produces these, eh? It is about 6F (-14C) right now, with a windchill in the minus 20s (-28+C). Wicked cold!
I’ve been reading about it on our news channel here that you are having very cold weather over there. We’ve had -17 C once back in 2010/11 and that was an extreme exception. Keep warm and safe!
Thank you, Karina!
Unique…….wouldn’t you love to keep enlarging that with an electron microscope? When I was young (😮🙈) the insides of our windows were covered with Jack Frost’s artwork…obviously our home was not well insulated!
Under closer scrutiny of this, we would see fractals unto eternity!
Not too many homes were well insulated back then (and still not with most the older ones).
Angels……
Yes! 🙂

Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Jack Frost! Hope you made it through that storm alright!!
Yes, we’re fine, thank you. I’ve been thinking about you up there – hope you’re weathering the windchill snug and warm inside.
Yes!
🙂
Lovely patterns you captured! Stay warm.
Thank you, Belinda. Just came in from a snowshoe walk around – it is VERY cold out there! So happy to have our wood stove.
I bet!
These look beautiful and so delicate.
Thank you, Anne. Jack Frost does a nice job. 🙂
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Thank you, Sarah. 🙂
Amazing what ice crystals can do, isn’t it?
It really is! Thanks for your visit!
How amazing and beautiful! Awesome image, Eliza. I see I’m not the only crazy person out in this insane cold. 😉 I think nature sometimes rewards us crazy people. I caught two eagles today (with the camera, of course!).
Thank you, Robin. It isn’t too bad when you dress warmly, but I was happy to get back to the warm house. Hope we get to see your eagles sometime. No camera work today outside for me, however! 🙂
Very nice!!! I love making images like this also!
Thank you, Reed!
Cool!
Downright frigid! 😀 Thank you, David. 🙂
Beautiful. Nature does wonderful things for us.
Thank you, Jim. Yes, she is always rather amazing.
Amazing patterns! ❄️⛄️
Thank you, Karen. They are so pretty to see in the morning!
Very nice, I wonder how you did it.
Nature ( aka Jack Frost) does miraculous work while we sleep. 🙂
It also looks like infra red!
It’s good that this wicked cold is good for something – fantastic photo opportunities, and this is a beauty. 🙂
Thank you very much, Judy. Has it got above freezing there yet?
It’s been staying mostly in the 20’s, but it’s suppose to get up in the 50-60’s next week. It’s been quite funny between all these folks who drove thousands of miles to get away from the cold, and it came with us. 🙂 Stay warm and safe this frigid weekend, Eliza.
Thank you, Judy, I will. 50-60s sounds wonderful – enjoy it extra well for the rest of us northerners. 🙂
Stunning images, Eliza x
Thank you, Rebecca. 🙂
Wow, Beautiful image, never witnessed anything like that – what is the surface? Hope you are snuggled up by your wood stove with a good book. And a cup of soup, some Polartec…
Thank you, Amelia. Frost accumulates on the windows on really cold nights, a beautiful morning surprise. The wood stove is cranking, I live in polar fleece and wool these days and yes, there is curried carrot squash soup for dinner tonight with still warm, freshly made oatmeal bread. All the comforts! 🙂
Oooohhhhh sounds yummmmmmy. I made almost 3qts of chicken, onion, carrot & spinach & pasta soup today….bread would have gone well…….is that a really good recipe? My daughter has announced ‘this is bread year’
It is the only recipe I have that rises consistently and perfectly in the bread machine (for some mysterious reason, many recipes fall, creating what I call sinkers).
And I hate to wear socks! Dinner sounds great. My windows were just a little sweaty this morning, not photo worthy.
😀 You are so funny! Yes, dinner was delicious, I was accidentally a bit heavy with the cumin, but my spouse pronounced it a happy accident. (I see hot-flashes in my future, however. 😉 )
Cumin gives you hot flashes? I have never been able to figure out the trigger. Just run outside for a minute, no more flash! Everything came through our cold snap, tomatoes still on the vine and the Dahlias look quite perky.
Curry and hot pepper, and sometimes soy, will do it every time. You’re right about the cure – lol – just run outside!
Glad to hear your plants are okay. They can take a bit of cool weather, but not frost, which ends the game around here.
Summer seems so far off as I sit listening to the wind howl and watch the temps plummet. I’m ready for warmer weather, even if its only in the 20s!
The 20s! you are a hardier person than me, Zone (?) 4 versus Zone 10. I can’t wait for the 75 degrees forecast on Monday. My husband is mad cuz i was hogging the covers.
🙂 Time to put another blanket on! 75 sounds like a dream to me right now. It is so hard in January not to book the next flight south. If I can hang in until Feb 1, I’m good, the end is in sight.
The blanket is on. Not sure if it’s good or bad..you probably couldn’t get a good flight out ! The Boston photos are freaking me out. We saw some fall color today. Exciting for here Red Maple. That’s your warming thought.
Fall color no matter where, is always a treat to see. I looked at the forecast for the next few weeks and it looks ‘normal’ – TG. We might even get a Jan. thaw – woohoo!
Well, I am about 50 miles north of Palm Beach International – if you feel a compelling need to weed.
😀 Thanks, I’ll give that some thought!
How pretty! We had frost like this last winter – layer upon layer over a couple of weeks producing such amazing patterns and shapes! It is very mild and very wet here at the moment with no frosts, but we have heard about the big freeze in your part of the world. Stay warm and cosy Eliza!
Thank you, Cathy. Monday will see a break in the weather I hope. This chill has been the longest I’ve ever remembered. Too long! Your temps sound much more pleasant. 🙂
Beautiful. We had some interesting ice form on the ponds this week. I didn’t get a good picture though. Mother nature does some unique things, doesn’t it?
She sure does. Were they those white, starry formations? I saw some on the river that were among the biggest I’ve ever seen. Covered now with snow. Said river is almost completely frozen over … that hasn’t happened in over a decade. Cold days!
Yes. It was those white, starry formations. So pretty. I have a neat picture of the snow covered pond, with Tippy on the edge, of course, I am planning to post soon.
So pretty and feathery!
Thank you, Mary. And they are different every day. 🙂
I’m glad Amelia asked what the surface was – I was beginning to wonder if the “feathers” were captured floating in the air. Snow and ice are foreign concepts here you know. You educate me with each winter post!
Yes, I forget about that sometimes! Winter’s cold is not something everyone experiences. Lucky them. 😉 But then, I am clueless about extreme heat. Lucky me. 😉 It all evens out!
Lovely photo and I hope warmer temperatures reach you soon!🙂
Thank you, Monday is supposed to be a bit warmer. I’m looking forward to it!
Sorry for jumping in, but I feel reminded on that winter in Berlin back then when the radio speaker excited said, “it will be warmer, only minus 16 C” after a 3-weeks period of -30C/-22F. I recommend hot chicken soup. Stay warm!
Yes, it is amusing what we think of as ‘warm’ when it has been so cold. Thanks for your visit, ‘jump in’ anytime. 🙂
Stunning – even the frosted bedroom windows of childhood didn’t have that floating image
Thank you, Derrick. It has been so very COLD!
It certainly has
I remember scraping frost off the windows at the house we rented in Maine … but it was never so beautiful as this image you’ve captured Eliza! That was a cold winter (and a life lesson) – even the saltwater froze in the bay and the Navy cutter had to come through.
I think we’re having that kind of winter. Bays are frozen all over, and high tides stacking ice chunks up on the shore.
Our river here is almost completely frozen over, even the rushing parts, which doesn’t happen all that often. I bet you are glad you are down South! 🙂 Sit in the sun for me.
Really love these pictures. How much beauty can be missed if we are not looking at the small things.
Thank you. I’m obsessed with the small things, lol. One must have patience to take a walk with me. 😉
It looks like it pays off though and nice to have time to walk slowly and appreciate what could be missed.
Magical photo!
Thank you, Dor!
Wow! YOu continue to surprise me Eliza
🙂 Thanks very much, Kim! Glad to know, I wouldn’t want to bore anyone. 😉
Ha! i hope you took my comment in the right spirit. It just always surprises me when I open your blog what you have created 🙂
Yes, I understood, and always appreciate your compliments! ❤
Wonderful capture of natural wonder!
Thank you, C.S.!
Such delicate beauty in the biting cold! Stay warm and snug!
Thank you, Carol!
Fractals, fractals everywhere–so gorgeous.
Thank you, Brenda. Endlessly fascinating for sure.
Wonderfully captured with such crisp detail!
Thank you, Pete!
The beauty it creates is, I guess, some compensation for the very low temperatures you are experiencing Eliza.
Yes, it does. Today, at last, the cold spell has broken – it went on WAY too long.
LOVE this, Eliza!
Thank you, Julie! I bet you’ve had a few gorgeous windows of late yourself. 🙂
First thought: Beautiful nature! Second thought: Brrrr 😉
Yes, it was a wicked cold spell! Thanks, Christy!
Great capture! I’ve seen lots of Jack Frost’s work for real, but this photo is amazing!
Thank you, Bela!
Jack Frost’s artistry is enhanced by your photographic skill. Beautiful image!
Thank you very much, Peter!
A great capture:-) As always…brrrr….you got the cold!
Thank you, Robbie. We’re having a little ‘warm up’ now for the next few days… most welcome to see the temp above freezing.
50 maybe thursday. I was out pruning dwarf fruit trees yesterday-LOL…36 felt warm!!!
It has to be REALLY cold to produce that kind of beauty! It’s magical. Great photo!
Thank you, Maria! 🙂
That is amazing!
Thank you. Jack Frost is a great artist!
This is VERY beautiful! And, now you already have your holiday greeting for this year! I have been looking for ice opportunities … here it is usually under snow!
Thank you, Denise! Lots of ice opportunities here as we head into another cold snap after lots of ‘warm’ rain.
Frost feathers. Perfect! Floating on air or ice or water …
Thank you, Sally!
The resemblance of snow flakes…beautiful!✨🤗
Thank you, Stormie. Winter has its wonders!
Indeed, full of wonder.✨🤗
