At temperatures near the freezing point of water unusual ice formations can form. Here supercooled water in a rotten maple branch moves by capillary action through it's porous surface and then freezes into an extruded "hair ice". This isn't the best example as the extruded ice has already started to clump and include small water droplets. Have to wake up earlier.
A couple of different photoshop treatments to bring out the crystal form and water droplets.
This would be a neat timelapse if I could predict it. The best way to find it is to hike a long distance up and down elevation, north and south slopes when the temperature is near freezing. Evidently only some types of dead deciduous trees readily form this ice.
