Even if "enywhere" else the spring is loudly knocking at the door, in Michigan the winter is still playing his King role. Unfriendly yet amazing wheather: here a snow flake has been melted by the warm sun and suddenly frozen by cold wind.
This magic sculpture was only 1/2" tall.

Eos1dmk2, 3.5/180mm Macro + 25mm Ext. Tube.
Michigan.

WOW ... beautiful sculpture and very nice rendering of it! I like your choice of backlighting it :)
The sunburst puts it over the top.

Absolutely gorgeous. What everyone else has said - and I also like how the base of the ice balances with the bud (or whatever) on the stem. I love this!

A very special shot. I think you've captured nature's jewely very nicely.
