Sometimes, on a rare day of winter perfection,
Ice crystals coat the world —
Turning reeds and wire fences
Into small works of abstract art.
In fact, you can hardly tell the difference
Between nature’s beauty
And the artifice of a wire fence.
Both glitter with possibility.
For more tiny beauties, please visit: Our World.
Looks like it’s covered in delicate lace. So lovely.

Wonderful reflections; and so inspired by your expression “a rare day of winter perfection”… I think, winter is about perfection, somehow…
And so lovely abstract art, indeed : “Between nature’s beauty
And the artifice of a wire fence.
Both glitter with possibility.”
Great visions captured in pictures, as always! Best regards and a very wonderful and inspired new week to you! Alexa
