Water and Ice

Walking along Salmon Creek at 27 degrees brought some surprises. This twig somehow accumulated crystalline drops fit for any chandelier.


This shadowed under-ledge produced large frozen globes of ice.


Even the shallowest puddles were transformed. I am amazed at all the gaseous bubbles congealed in this image.


Each blade of grass is a small miracle.

Great photos; those water ornaments are truly amazing. We humans can't make ornaments nearly so exquisite.

Those globes of ice are really quite something! I don't think I have ever seen that happen before.

Well done!
