That's actually a grey-green linen, but the light has already drained from the sky, taking with it any chance of capturing subtle color. Likewise, I'm out of light for stitching. So tomorrow.
I'm shooting for an impression of this ...
Know what it is? Frostweed. Even though we've already had freezing weather here, for some reason they waited until last night to pop. Lucky for me, Don spotted them before the sun melted the ice crystals away. You can read more about how they form here.
And take a closer look ...

Maria ... thanks for stopping by. I love sharing things like this. Nature outdoes herself at every turn.
DeleteWoo, so cool, love that close up, I've never seen those before. Nature is remarkable.
ReplyDeleteRight after I took the picture I touched it and it disintegrated. At which point I realized the shot wasn't totally in focus. Tool late.
Deletewhat magic!! seems like their transitoriness is part of that.
ReplyDeleteAs if it were a dream ...
DeleteYour fabric translation of these is wonderful. We have found frost flowers the last few years in one particular spot and emerging from the base of plants. I have never seen ice "blooming" from tall stems like this. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan ... I'm recalling the Frosty Sno-Cone maker that arrived one Christmas in the 1960s. You put an ice cube under its hat, pressed down and turned a crank. The ice crystals extruded from the frostweed stem reminded me of the ice shavings that appeared in the drum/belly of the snowman.
