Another crystal from my window in Minnesota. I see a long stemmed flower actually. The stem looks almost braided/knotted, with the flower being at the right edge near the middle of the photo. What can you see in this ice crystal formation? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I will rate and comment on the photo when I post this discussion. It appears to be really cold there. We are 37 here now and suppose to have some frost in the am. We are very mild compared to you guys where you are

I do not think I could handle that cold weather. I do love my heat I am having a problem getting warm this winter and it has not been that cold here.

I have to agree with tyc415 that it looks like twisted barbed wire. I like when you post those "what do you see" in this photo, gives us all a chance to express how we see it. I always find it amazing how different people can see different things.

Another really pretty picture. At first I was thinking maybe twisted barbed wire. I don't really see a flower myself but after I got rid of the barbed wire it sort of looks like a Crown Of Thorn plant.

I have to second that, it does look like twisted barbed wire to me too.

Look at the right edge almost in the middle of the page. The flower is tilted to the half way point. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi Grandpa Bob! Really great photo! I see small flowers and small pearls with braided ribbon or stem. Looks like a page in jewelry magazines to me. Take care always and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

Excellent picture. It really looks like the leaves of holly and even has the berries on it. I love this picture also. You honestly must keep taking these as I love seeing them. It will be spring soon, so no more ice-cyrstals for us to see. What you are capturing with them is so unique. They really are beautiful indeed.

I see the flower, but this darn monitor is too dark to see much else. I haven't seen frost on our windows since probably 2003.

That is beautiful! I have no frost on any of my windows, same as last winter. I guess I'll have to enjoy your crystals since I don't have my own!

That is a beautiful crystal but I can't figure out what it looks like to me. Even after reading everyone else's comments. Sometimes beautiful is just beautiful.
