Really beautiful shapes in the ice and on the juniper too.

It wasn’t what I expected, but I rather liked it.

Sometimes we can find beauty in the most unexpected places.

Thanks Charlie. It didn’t turn out as I expected, but I liked it anyway.

You may have been “just fooling around” but this is beautiful, Terry.

Thanks Jane! I walked out to see if the snow had started yet and caught a little sparkle from a juniper bush and had to try a few photos. I liked this one. A macro shot in the dark using a hiking staff as a monopod.

Nice macro. It shows the tiny overlapping scales of the juniper perfectly.

Macros are interesting because they often show something that I didn’t see.

It always pays to try. Thank goodness for digital or I would be spending a fortune on film and developing!

As soon as I saw it, I thought, “cedar.” Of course, that’s because what most Texans call cedar actually is Ashe juniper, and your buds and leaves are almost identical. I like the clarity of the ice, too. It’s a beautiful photo.

What first caught my eye was just a shiny point of light reflected from the ice and I could barely see that in the monitor. Turns out the leaves (which I ignored) made the photo interesting!

Hi Montucky, Oh wow! Such a neat macro. You are good at taking pictures very close up. Have a great day tomorrow!

Thank you! I’ve found that close-ups can show us a lot of things we normally wouldn’t be able to see, some very beautiful.

this is so beautiful. i love seeing the details which are very much like a cedar tree. I have used this design to portray braided hair in art because of the cedar. so i looked up juniper and cedar to see if they are related and indeed they are. I did not know 😉

In the high plains region of Arizona there are a lot of old juniper, many of which have died and fallen down or are badly leaning: the local Indians call them “knock-down cedars”.

Nature can be surprising. All I saw was a point of light that I thought might be a frozen water drop. The lens showed me something more.

Prettier than diamonds. I do wish I could take photos of ice now and then but doesn’t happen too often. The bird bath was frozen a few mornings ago but I didn’t get to it in time with the camera.

Snow and ice creations are often very pretty, but they also come with a few drawbacks. I don’t mind putting up with the conditions that produce them though. And Pring is coming.
