Frosted Leaf on our Frozen Seasonal Pond

[best appreciated at full size against black]

Looking around for interesting frost shots a couple of weeks ago, I wandered down to our seasonal pond. At this time it only had a small amount of water in it, as it hadn't rained much. I was delighted to find a thick coating of ice on the surface, rippled and encasing leaves under the surface. Here is a leaf, edged in frost and sitting on the surface of the pond. If you look closely, you can see the shapes of leaves under the ice! :D

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
