Just thought I would share a little winter beauty I found on the net.
Photos taken by Chyenne M. Star of Edgemont, Arkansas.

The link will also tell you how they think these beauties are formed.

Ice Flowers

I like this one, so Im going to bring it back.
Dont know if I would call them a life form being... , but they do classify as a mineral.
Nature sure works in wonderous ways!

I have seen these at my prop in Fredericktown MO along the creek in the morning while deer hunting. First time I saw these I thought someone had littered small pieces of toilet paper all over. Went to pick it up and it started to melt. Next time I see some I will try to get some pics.
