Ice

The temperature has routinely been above mid thirties here this year...

Mostly around 40 and even 50 (or 60, like yesterday)!

WEIRD!!!

So, now that blogger is finally registering my most recently uploaded photos from over a week ago, I can share the beautiful ice I captured a month ago...

I don't mind winter.

In fact, I very much like winter,

but in order for me to like it, it needs to be white.

I don't much care for drab, grey and barren day after day.

Needless to say, I have been left wanting a bit this year,

but this is when I am glad I have a camera and can look at photos I have taken of past winter days!

Do you like winter?

What do or don't you like about it?

What is your favorite season?

ice sculptures and snow

I love the beautiful sculptures and shapes ice forms in winter.

...

It is snowing today.

Beautiful big flakes.

Just the dreamy kind that I like...

So I am off to adventure in the woods with Veda.

I am sure I will have photos later (or hope to, falling snow is difficult to photograph).

Part of the Daily Routine

I love morning walks.

Especially when I have my Vedalou running ahead of me.

We stopped for a spell to stand still and listen to the gutteral groaning of the ice shifting.

What a deep and eerie sound!

Then we stopped by the little brook that ran into the big body of water.

It was happily flowing,

rushing past rocks and sticks and ice.

I love the bubbles both in the ice and trying to push up from the water underneath!

Nature is the most amazing creator.

These ice sculptures are fantastic!

Ice Bubbles

These were some really beautiful ice formations that we found on our walk with the pups tonight.
