    Just in case you're wondering it's the windows of my car.

    Art.....pure art!
    Were the pics taken from inside the auto or out?

    Yikes! That is C-O-L-D.

    Amazing photos! I hadn't seen ice crystals for over 13 years, and don't miss it a bit. It's so much easier to appreciate the beauty when I'm sitting warm in Texas!

    My first thought when I saw the title of this subject was that you had stray cats that ate a bird and left the pile of feathers in your yard like they do in my yard :-x

    Beautiful ice formations. During the freezes last year we had some interesting formations in the birdbaths but not on the car windows in a few years now.

    Mg, I appreciate the beauty of winter, even though it's way too early for winter yet. :D I think Texas might be too hot for me.

    Nature's a great art creator. :D The photos were taken both from the outside and the inside. I found the inside gave a better impression.

    Cross posting, Toni. :D

    We've got a cat that often invites me for a meal, despite the fact that I've declined every single invitation. Our Lord Paint has at least two thrushes stashed somewhere. The feathers are on the grass and on the veranda. :D

    We call them frost flowers here and they are soooo pretty to look at. I'm not quite so keen to see them on the inside of the greenhouse glass though!!
    Wonderful shots Droopy. :-D

    Thanks all for appreciating the ice art. I didn't have anything to do with it, honest. :D I just pressed my camera button.
