Frosted Ice Sunrise

















After a few cold, calm nights we now have a thin layer of ice on Grand Portage Bay!  Yesterday I went out to photograph the sunrise over the ice.  It was an extra-special morning because in addition to the ice, there were all these little frost flowers on the surface of the ice.  If you look closely at the photo you can see all these little bumps on top of the ice.  Those are clumps of frost that formed overnight.  They are a fascinating and beautiful wonder of nature!
