Earlier this week we had about three days straight of pogonip in the morning. The north side of our house didn’t get any sun during the day so the crystals on the gravel grew longer each day. It was beautiful! Here’s a few close-up shots of what pogonip crystals look like.
This is a small piece of wood that happened to be on the gravel of our driveway.
I couldn’t resist the pogonip covered, heart-shaped rock. Can you see it?
Marmee says
Love the new diggs!!
We actually had this for a couple of days after you first wrote it! It was fun telling the girls that it actually had a name. I never thought about it before!
Mrs. Organic says
I love the crystals. Did you get a macro lens?
Jen says
We’ve actually had some pogonip out here too. It’s so pretty–it’s been growing on the snow that is already there, so it looks like a coral reef.

These are amazing! What beauty our Father in Heaven has given you!!
32 Flavors says
Gorgeous! I can’t believe the size of those crystals…

I don’t know exactly what a pogonip crystal is, but I think I like it! Especially on the heart-shaped rock – too cool!
Caffienated Cowgirl says
Oh, these are stunning.
And love your new design…you are a clever one 🙂

P.S. I only came by here the first time a few days ago and you had the red and black design. Is that the “new design” or the old look? I was curious to see your redesign! Looks good, whether it’s old or new. =]
everydayMOM says
Beautiful! And yet another reason to move to the southwest. =]

How did you get such good close-ups. Its quite beautiful.
Ratliffs says
So fun! That would really be something to see!
Nancy Sabina says
When you tweeted I thought “pogonip…pogonip…I know I’ve heard that somewhere recently…” Duh! It was from you!
Beautiful shots. I love the little heart shaped rock.
Maple says
How pretty! I’ve never heard of Pogonip Crystals before. They don’t grow in my part of the country. Nice pics.

everydayMOM,
My old blog design was brown with polka dots and had one sidebar. My header had my head split open at the top with chocolate spilling out. I kind of got tired of seeing that. 😀

Well you can call them what you want, but to us they are fairy crystals.:)Lovely pics!
Michelle says

renee says
no way! These are so awesome I can’t believe that’s really what the frost looked like.

Wow. Those are such neat ice formations. I’ve never seen any like them.
