When conditions are right, these delicate structures appear overnight, then quickly melt away as the sun warms the morning air. In late autumn, when moist and mild conditions are followed by a freeze, you might see these crystals emerging from wet soil or the dried stalks of thick-stemmed plants. The fanciful shapes of these formations have inspired many nicknames: Ice Blossoms, Fairy Frost, Feather Frost, Frost Beard, Frost Flowers, Frost Castles, Hair Ice, Ice Needles, Ice Ribbons, Ice Wool, Rabbit Frost, Crystallofolia. The photographs in this gallery try to capture and preserve the ephemeral magic of these delicate wonders.
