Hair Ice
I saw an item about hair ice on Winter Watch last week, I knew I had seen and photographed the phenomenon some years ago but had no idea what a rare occurrence it was. Also known as ice wool or frost beard it generally occurs in deciduous forests between 45 and 55 degrees north, this particular specimen was found near Dunkeld in Perthshire, Scotland. Of no particular photographic merit but shared here for general interest.
