Liquid gone solid …
Frost along the Snake River.
FRISCO — Walking the dogs early in the morning also doubles as my morning photo session, which means I’ve got one eye on the pups while scouting for images. A few days ago I headed up into Snake River country between Keystone and Montezuma to shoot some moving water pictures, but often I stay close to home, wandering one of the nearby trails or along the shores of Dillon Reservoir. Friday morning I headed for the Lilypad Lake trailhead and was captivated by some of the micro landscapes I found in the frozen creek.

Frost crystals grow along an ice shelf where water vapor turns directly into ice, without first going through a liquid stage.

When liquid turns into a solid.
