Up Close: Study #1

I enjoy macro photography, taking close ups of things around me. Now that we are just coming out of the deep freeze, I thought I'd offer one of my abstract images, which shows frost "ferns" on a south-facing window of my house. These frost patterns come and go daily. They form overnight as temps drop, and they vanish the next day as the sun comes up and warms the window. Like snowflakes, they are never the same twice, so it's a bit of a mystery to see what patterns they will take on any given day. On this day, they looked strikingly similar to fern leaves.
