Hunting for frozen raindrops

Frozen raindrop

Our rather strange January weather produced some interesting conditions today – rain overnight, and then dropping temperatures through the morning caused dripping raindrops to freeze. The tricky part was finding drops that had some interesting structure attached to them. There were a lot of plain branches covered with them, but it just didn’t seem to work graphically for me. Then I found these small tendrels off a vine, complete with some frozen drops attached to them. I thought it provided for a more interesting shot. A couple more are in the gallery.
