This is astounding! We had a light coating of ice on everything this morning, after the snowstorm yesterday. I started taking the "usual" photographs of ice-covered branches, then gradually moved closer and closer. What amazed me is the detail in this single frozen drop of water! I think that the texture in the drop is from air trapped within. I have posted a larger than normal image. You HAVE to click on it to see the amazing detail in this drop of ice.
It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Wowee wowee wow!!! Incredible. What a job that ice can do on such a little twiggy branch. I want this on my wall, too. Uh oh, I'm running out of wall space already with all the Ken Spencers I want to hang up.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the glass slipper from Cinderella. I love the detail in the tip - beautiful.
