[Leica] Frozen Bubbles

[Aram Langhans]

My wife got me some bubble solution for Christmas thinking I might try 
freezing them when it got cold like I did a few years back.  Well, last 
night it got down to 9F (-13C) so I gave it a try.  Not quite cold 
enough as they were popping as they hit the ground, so I tried a few 
things and finally got a few bubbles to survive and freeze.

But what caught my eye was when peeping around on the first shot I saw 
the ice crystals on the blades of grass.  Here if a very tight crop.

I was just using the 24-120Z lens for these.  It is suppose to get cold 
again tonight so I will have to bring out the big gun (100/APO) and try 
the ice crystals w/o having to crop much.

Comments welcome.
