Spiky Hoarfrost on Dried Grassland Plant and Pods
This photo is another one from a series of photos of “spiky hoarfrost” I took during a walk nearby. This event was the first ever "spiky" version I’ve seen here. All other times the hoarfrost was shorter and more rounded and the temperatures were about 10-20 degrees F colder. Both ways are exquisitely beautiful. I’m so grateful to have a lens that sees details I could never see! Fog had been present about six hours through the night and this frost descended on several plants. It was just below freezing, so as the fog lifted and the temperature began to rise, these spikes either dropped off the surfaces or softened to a version of slush.
