FROST THORNS

Each of the tiny growing things pictured here actually have smooth stems, without any stickers.
One morning's frost was unusual in that it covered everything with little explosions of ice-stickles. 





Honest, this would normally be a bare branch, as the others pictured above, but certainly looks like
a blackberry twig:

Normally-smooth bark of a dogwood tree turns frightful:

No, this is not a barbed-wire fence, but plain old chicken wire-turned scary:

Just amazing! To see frost-sicles like that...even where I took my photos the frost didn't have that appearance or shape. Really like the second shot, and the trunk of the dogwood tree is mind-boggling.

Fascinating! They truly do look thorned, and your grouping, as usual, is nothing short of genius!
