Frost on a Maple Leaf
The large leaf is presented by itself, allowing its familiar lobes, finely toothed edges, central stem, and radiating veins to remain the focus. Frost covers the maple leaf after cold, moist air has settled around it. Its branching vein pattern shows the routes that once carried water and sugars through the living leaf.
Frost and Maple Leaf Facts
Frost forms when water vapor changes into ice crystals on a surface that is cold enough. Leaves can collect frost especially readily on clear, calm nights because they lose heat to the open sky. As sunlight warms the surface later, the crystals melt into tiny drops of water or return directly to vapor.
Real-World Colors of the Leaf and Frost
