With the extreme cold Saturday night and Sunday morning, I decided to take another look at Puffer Pond Falls and see how the ice was forming. As I got out of my car I noticed the blue in the ice and was happy to be there…..unlike my blah attitude yesterday.
So here is one more waterfall ice image…with any luck, there will be other attractions shortly. Anyway, despite my being all done with my enthusiasm for cold weather photography for this season…and despite my realizing that it isn’t even close to over…I give you another frozen Puffer Pond Falls.

Blah days are sometimes necessary for the recharging of the batteries that serve to charge inspirational renewal. I wish I had something like this within a day’s range of my excursion possibilities!

That is a massive mess of ice. Very impressive. It looks like your next two days are going to be very unpleasant followed by warmer and sunshine. When the season change happens, it might be sudden.

That is only part of the waterfall, Jim. It’s not as tall as it appears, probably 15-20 feet high.
Things did not develop as they might have. We got about 2 inches with just a slight crust on top. More is forecast for tomorrow, but they are saying <1". There was a nice melt today at about 40° and more like that for the weekend and next week. So far, the prediction is for a slow rise in the temperature, but it changes from day to day.

This reminds me that I need to defrost my freezer – your excellent photograph looks very much like the ice which is packed solid round the ice-box door 😦

Really real, Andrew…..although the waterfall is man-made.

Speaking of ice and cold, I read this article on Earth Observatory this morning and thought of you.

Your picture of Puffer Pond Falls is much better than the typical puff piece we sometimes see in magazines. The blue cast of the image goes well with the temperature, as uncomfortable as that must have made you out in the field.

When I find ice like this the discomfort disappears until I am done shooting. It’s a pretty happy find. Makes the winter blues go far away…temporarily.

I know what you mean: I can get lost in a situation as long as I’m working. For most of the year in Texas that means overlooking heat and sweat rather than cold and shivers.
