Snowstorms earlier in the week coated the windward side of every tree. Then the sun and mild temperatures would melt the snow, which re-froze at night, creating some interesting ice formations like the one above.
This caught my eye as I was snowshoeing up the mountainside, and I was more than willing to take a rest to catch my breath and fire off a dozen or more photos. This one is my favorite, because of the bokeh pine that creates great contrast with the ice.
