Frost, Ice Crystals

Don't you think the ice crystals are especially beautiful? Click on the pictures to get an even better look at them.

The pictures above and below are more heavily frosted because they are dead leaves. The leaves that are on live plants have fewer ice crystals because they still have liquid in their veins. This keeps them warmer, and they don't freeze as readily as the dead leaves.
