ice crystals on grass - Limited Edition of 100 Photograph

This is a single blade of grass or an old iris stem completely covered in ice crystals. Several years ago, we had a very cold spell following a wet period. Each night the moisture in the damp air would condense into tiny crystals as the night air became much colder, and coat every surface. I have seen these small crystals for many times, but this was a very long cold spell, lasting many days without warming above freezing. So, the crystals did not melt during the day, and grew longer each night. These 2 inch long ice crystals formed over a period of about 4 days. We call this "Hoar frost". On the day I took this photo, the weather broke and the ice began to melt and all of the beautiful hoar frost crystals were gone within an hour after the day warmed above freezing.
