Todays special: frozen mushroom with a sprinkling of ice

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

No snow yet, but at least it is freezing overnight now in The Netherlands, so I went out to take some photos with cold fingers of cold mushrooms with cold crystals in a cold peat bog.

Near the ground in the shade, everything was still frozen during day time:

Everything was covered with hoarfrost:

This mushroom wisely chose the sunny side of a tree to grow on and had defrosted by the time I got there:

The Shrek's ear lichen, however, didn't escape the ice:

Here's a close-up of the crystals:

Finally some wintery stuff to look at! I hope we'll get some snow soon.

Thanks! Blue fingers from photographing them as well.

I had a similar problem today)

Maybe we need huge cameras with big dials and buttons so we can operate them with gloves on.

Amazing photos of the frozen mushrooms, @ocrdu!

I really like that second photo. That little mushroom is tucked in there so well, but it wasn't quite enough. So tiny!

A brave one. Many are cold, but few are frozen (Matthew 22:14).

I'll have to suggest that passage to some folks I know, lol.

Thank you!

@ocrdu yes, it's cold brrr - nice shots of the ice :D
everywhere today :D brrrr

Time to get the winter coats out.

Wowwww, I love this! Thank you for sharing. I haven't ever seen an icy mushroom alive in nature before. So cool :)

Thanks for resteeming!
I'm not sure how long mushrooms survive this sort of thing, but they sure look nice while they are standing.

I agree, very interesting!
