Frost Like A Learned Owl

I've been asked if this is really frost. It really is. One morning I woke up to find beautiful frost patterns on the windows and immediately got my camera to get some shots before they melted. When they had been loaded into the computer, I found myself staring at the patterns much in the way one does at clouds on a summer day...patterns forming in the eye of the imagination.

I worked on this, removing some of the frost, until the picture of the owl became clear.
