    yes .. I met some child twins there once, freaked me out .. but kinda in a good way ( except the bit where they threatened to kill me if I didn't play with them ... 😕  )

    Out walking the dogs this Christmas morning & I came across this coming from many dead branches & bits of wood throughout the forest.  At first I thought it was a fungi, turns out it is called Hair Ice - kind of rare, requires very certain temperatures & humidity to occur, only extrudes from wood (ie. not through bark)  & only occurs between 45 & 55 degrees north.  Wasn't until 2015 that scientists discovered the fungi inside the wood that imparts an antifreeze quality to the water, preventing the water from forming larger ice crystals, leading to this hair like appearance.   Bizarre & fascinating - I have never seen this before !
