That looks amazing – like some sort of bubbly green glass.

I enjoy finding green water to photograph although it is not necessarily a sign of healthy water.

Green ice seems a rarity. Is it common up there?

The algae which requires nitrogen develops from rotting leaves in this seep is the source of the color. That’s where the green came from in the frost pictures that I have shared in the past. Possibly what encouraged the algae in your shot.

Spectacular! I like the contrast between the leaf with its veins and the foamy green.

Love it… as noted above, it does look old bottle glass.

The contrasting colors are wonderful, and I like the way the speckles on the leaf echo the bubbles in the water.

Thanks, Linda! It’s funny. I shot this right after the previous skunk cabbage image and at first didn’t think it worked. But a little contrast adjustment here and there and now I like it better than the former.

For me, I love this type image as it demonstrates the photographer has a special gift of observation.
It doesn’t hurt that the final product is technically astounding.

That’s kind of you to say, Wally. I do spend time observing what’s in front of me. Thank you!
