"Swan Frost Flower"
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
If you’ve never seen a frost
flower, you are missing out! Frost flowers aren’t real flowers; they are
beautifully sculpted from the frozen sap of a vegetation called white
crownbeard.
When conditions are right
with temperatures in the twenties, and the right amount of rain, the sap pushes
out and forms ribbons of ice. As a photographer, I love witnessing their
beauty, but it does come at the sacrifice enduring the cold temps and wind
chill.
The Lord knows my favorite
thing to photograph are birds, so it came to no surprise to find a frost flower
in the shape of a swan. I have to say I was astonished! I love the miracles He
shows me!
This photo was taken in
2015. I am looking forward to photographing them again this winter.
