Description
Simple...but how often have you looked at this common but short lived natural occurance up close?
The sun had already been at work on these crystals so they are not as sharp as I'd have liked. But then there is always next time:)
Wiki says: Radiation frost (also called hoar frost or hoarfrost) refers to the white ice crystals, loosely deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form on cold clear nights when heat losses into the open skies cause objects to become colder than the surrounding air.
Thanks for stopping by.

Superb Bill, you are so right we rarely look up close at such things, splendid shot my friend.
Really "cool" capture Bill! :)
That rarely happens here, and when it does the crystals are usually quite flat. This is such a treat to see. I love the light, and the angle of the boards. Makes for a nice composition!
Very beautiful! Excellent shot!
Yeah, I hear ya! Most people take stuff like this for granted. Even people who think they are so called photographers only look at what's in front of them! The world is FULL of discoveries...some that only last for a short time! When you capture something like this...its sorta priceless...one of a kind!
Very pretty! jewel like!
Cool by all meanings! Great shot, Bill!
Wonderful photo. Looks like tiny crystal flowers all over these boards. Thanks for sharing.
Good focus considering that not a macro lens.
Wonderful shot!!
Well spotted and taken, and something not many would even take the time to notice!
This looks like crystals, interesting and awesome shot
Diamonds scattered on the back porch, excellent observation and capture Bill.
So very beautiful and it looks much like diamond dust sprinkled about.
Great work capturing this bit of ephemera,
I have
nt been around much myself Bill for a while and please dont worry about it .Im just glad people take a look :o)..Excellent capture and seeing as we are really cold at the moment I might try this myself . MickQuite crystal like qualities....
Superb lighting effects to emphasize the glitter, sparkle and textures in this one, Bill. Contrasts well against the dark wood surface. Are you sure that's frost and not diamonds?
Great capture Bill, you really need to be over here right now as we have 4 inches of snow :)
All to easy to miss and has provided a beautiful and unique texture
A brilliantly simple idea! Damn! Why not me..... We are surrounded by the stuff. It's snowed for 2 days now. It NEVER snows any more. Great one bill. Did you use Macro or just really close zoom? Rob.
like diamonds. very beautiful subject Bill
oh I love hoarfrost, Bill, and that is a very fine shot of this natural frosty diamonds...smile
Nice shot Bill. If I remember right, no two of the crystals are alike. Am I right?
Great macro and they almost look like diamonds.
