Curl

Only a few millimeters across, this is a tiny curl from the shoot of a pea pod. I love how something so small can be so truely wonderful and graceful. Note to self: Don't forget to take notice of the small things - they are amazing! Copyright 2017 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Frost

"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it." --John Burroughs Frosty ice crystals form on my office window on a very cold January winter morning in Milwaukee. They are beautiful for sure, but it has to be quite frigid for these to grow. Plus, your windows need to be a bit drafty. Oh well, the things we sacrifice for our art.
