2021 046-365 Iced Mini Triffid
We only have two or three snowdrops in the front garden, but I managed to find a clump of tight buds at the end of the back garden. Picked three, and kept them indoors for a day os so to encourage a little opening, then gradually frozen in layers of water. The buds were surprisingly uncooperative, and kept floating, which ruined the effect I wanted. Finally achieved an encased bud withour it escaping onto a closer plane of focus.
The ice was thicker underneath, so I played around with back-lighting from a torch. I enjoyed the way the tiny bubbles followed the line of the bud, giving it an almost predatory Triffid-like look?
Mcro Mondays "In Ice". This flower is less than 1" long.
A better one for the Treasure Hunt 18: Bud
