Thank you Trudy. Today became overcast, so I shone a flashlight on it to illuminate it just a bit.

Thank you Barb, chicka, Doerthe, delver and Susan!

Our cold spell seems to be over (for now) so they won't be growing, but yes! That sounds like a really fun (slow) project!

Delver, I titled a previous photo of this frost creation 'Dragonslayer' and WurzelDave said he'd send St George (the REAL dragonslayer) out this way... just for fun!

I think St George is slaying his way through the Christmas shopping, hence why he hasn't turned up! :-) (hope he turns up soon or this could dragon... heh heh)
Super capture, congrats on the blue border.

I see the dragon in the ice, head down, tail up,
and graceful. Nature is a busy artist in Winter,
frosting things and icing things all over the
World! Busy! Neat shot, Katy!

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
