Your photo of the ice sculptures in the creek is fascinating, Steve. When I encounter this kind of Nature’s artwork, I no longer complain about the cold.

Thanks, Peter. I lose track of it until my fingers start to get numb and i can’t feel the camera any longer. Then I do complain. 🙂

Wonderful ice formations – extra layers needed today!

Thanks, Eliza! Yes, the wind made things worse for sure. Still not as bad as Texas. Feel so bad for those folks.

I know, at least we are used to frigid winter weather.

Used to and prepared for. I doubt many folks there have alternative heat sources.

Nor do they insulate like we do… I guess they sailed through the oil embargo that changed our ways.

Always playing the look over there game, the Governor is blaming it on frozen windmills (approximately 10% of their supply) and the Green New Deal which actually doesn’t exist yet. The fact that they refused to be part of the national grid is something he doesn’t want to talk about.

It looks so cold!

It was. Not as cold as some days but certainly cold enough.

It looks as if you may have been kneeling or standing in the water for this very-cool perspective, but I rather suspect that it’s a mistaken impression.

Close. I was sitting behind the tripod at its lowest level without splaying the legs. That said, I do wear Muck boots so have gone into the cold water more than once.

Perhaps because I’ve been thinking of furniture restoration, that circular “piece” in the middle reminds me of the seat that went with my mother’s vanity. You know the sort: the vanity a big mirror and lots of little drawers, the seat or bench inevitably padded and fancied up. I can’t remember at which point we moved it along, but it was too impractical to keep. That was a lot of size and very little room for storage, which made it a house accessory rather than one for an apartment.

They are a bit impractical although in their day quite popular as a spot for adding a bit of pizzazz to one’s features. I can’t remember the last time I saw one in someone’s home and am pretty sure we’ve never sold one in the 40+ years I’ve been working at the store. That does look like a comfy, albeit cold, seat with a nice skirt about it.

Blue ice is nice.

It is but I do have to be careful not to oversaturate it. Of course the eye adjusts and does not see the color but the sensor sure does.

I find this is working very nicely for a Wordless Friday, too. (Well, almost wordless…)

Rush water makes the loveliest ice forms. This reminds me of shooting cascades when I used to lead photo tours in the Catskills!

All that action really does create some unusual forms and although similar most all are unique. Maybe not quite so as snowflakes but the random chaos of them is enjoyable to see and photograph.I imagine there must be some falling water you could shoot in the Rockies.

Yes there are some places and I have shot some but most are not easily accessible. Factor in winter and they are snow covered and even harder to get to!
