At first I thought of a supernatural phenomenon in Florida, i.e. a hairfrosted tree!

wow...fantastic

Wow.....so macro and so soft, it looks like a iceflower!!!! 8-)

Yes....wow!!!!!! A beautiful iceflower. 8-)

outstanding close up

a beautiful image!

Excellent!

Down right pretty

Peter, I was thinking (at the time of my posting this) of frost crystals, but of course, it seems never to get cold enough for good frost crystals where I live, but we do have frost sometime at around 35 degrees if there is enough moisture in the air.

Coming from you Marijke, a real compliment. You are the Queen of the macro shots.

Thank you Inna. "Potterjo" post the only frost flowers I have seen here on FT

Thanks Günter. Probably those orange corners that really "set it off!" :-)) That and bright sunlight.

Thank you Fleur

Thank you Jo. No snow where I live, but white seems to be "in" this time of year.

Thanks Nancy!

That makes a lovely unusual shot Larry!!!!!......

Wonderful and interesting shot, Larry..:-))

This is really beautiful, Larry. Thanks for showing us!

Thank you Wijnie. I enhanced the highlights and shadows of the original photo which was a pretty close macro shot to begin with.

Larry, this is a beautiful shot! I like the composition and the pattern of the feather. Nature is the best designer. You could collect the feather for a pillow! :-)

Thank you Bea. Your suggestion makes me wonder how long it would take me to pick up enough down feathers to stuff a pillow. A long time I imagine. As a young boy, I have memories of sleeping on/in feather mattresses and laying my head on feather down pillows, all made by my grandparents. The winters were cold and there was no heat in the bedrooms.....the days before central heat and air conditioning were affordable to middle class people in the USA. Now it is 'fibre fill' and memory foam!!!

It is beautiful, Larry..and as a lot of people have said, reminiscent of frost...one of Nature's miracles again!!

Thank you Barbara. Nature has a gazillion miracles (wonders to).

Oh yes Larry we are sleeping now in a scientific bed, thanks for development for Nasa! :-))
I prefer "fibre fill" and memory foam as well! :-))

Bea, I have some goose down feather pillows on my sofa, but for sleeping, the fibre fill seems to have a little more rebound to it. I once had a barley husk pillow which was good for a while but eventually the husk began to break down and the resulting powder came through the pillow cover. I'll try anything once!!
