Winter is truly upon us now, as dark, cold nights present us with snowy mornings and frost lines itself on branches and leaves. I went walking in Kitchener this Friday and was astounded at the icy beauty written on my surroundings. Even bare branches were turned into poetic images with a simple touch of frost.

These photos were incredible. The frozen dewdrop suspended was my favourite. It was like a looking glass to another time. It was like the water drop had been caught as it was falling through the frame.

Thank you, Dad! I also really like the water droplet photo.
AN INCREDIBLE set of plantscapes! The photo of the ice droplet reminds me of a scene from Labyrinth or Harry Potter!
