Ice Crystals Melting Macro

There is something almost magical about watching snow melt through the lens. As the ice crystals start to become more translucent and random shapes form, bending light and creating a mystical look. Seeing this up close, magnified with a macro lens, made something that was so ordinary look very extraordinary. All it took was a handle of snow brough inside and placed on a window ledge; heat and time did the work as I observed and found a sense of wonder as water changed form.
