I was heading to bed late Friday night when I caught a glimpse of the intricate frost patterns on our window panes.  Of course I completely forgot I was exhausted and took out my camera to capture a few pictures. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

This was the original shot. The light at the bottom is a reflection of our outdoor Christmas lights. Amazing, isn’t it?

Had some fun with the brightness and contrast after I flipped it and my son told me he saw a beautiful winter scene.

Here are a few of my favorites. You can see more pictures on my Flickr Page.

Simply breathtaking. The pictures don’t seem to do them justice.

Can you see the peacock?

How about the fox?

Beautiful feather

Love this one too

I discovered frost ferns when I moved to the mountains. I guess it’s a combination of old windows and excess humidity but to me they are absolutely magical.

This was the first frost fern I ever saw : It looks like a bouquet.

Here are a few more from last year.

My husband says I have a lot of imagination but I see a dragon in this one.

There is always a silver lining to everything. My husband and I were a little disappointed with these windows when we bought this house last year. I’m starting to see these windows as a gift. Every day brings a new creation. I think I’ll enjoy them while they are still around… Soon enough, these windows will be changed and I will have to invent ways to make frost ferns on my own!

À bientôt!
