Delicate Ice FormationMarch 10, 2016

As the weather starts getting warmer and before we all get used to Spring, I wanted to post these photos that I took this winter. I became fascinated by the structure of this ice formation in a creek with flowing water. The top layer of the water was frozen over but the water was running underneath the frozen layer. This formation reveals a window into the running water underneath. I love the fragile, thin, clear ‘upper lip’ of the window and watching how it was formed by the trickling of the water below.
