Melting Ice/ Creative Exchange

 Reflections of rusty metal, ice and grasses

Yesterday (Saturday) was a mild February day (for central Ontario) and even though the sky was overcast and gloomy, it was a fine day to take my camera on a road trip. Well, my husband and I had a few errands so why not let my camera tag along, right?

Lines, cracks and holes in the ice

    it was cold though wasn't it? Mind you I'd rather have that sort of day than a typical winter's day.

    Loved the photos,

    We haven't had much frozen water this year, only a sheen of ice formed on the pond near our house, and it was gone in a few days. No ice skating this year. Love that last shot.

    The texture of the frozen ice on the bottom photo is finely detailed. Wonderful contrast with the twigs, both is form ad color.

    We haven't had much ice at home this year. Our fish pond generally freezes over, but it hasn't done so this year - yet. ;)

    Wow! If you accidentally fell into that icy water, you could be impaled upon all manner of things! I hope there was a warning sign somewhere!

    Snow and ice is such a fabulous medium to work with, here in Perth at the moment we have sun, sun and more sun and then hot winds from inland.. Love the icy patterns and reflections EG!

    I love the reflections in the first one, and the detail you have captured in the second one.

    At least the ice is melting that means it must be getting a bit warmer. Makes for a great picture though :))

    Such interesting and icy shots. It is nice watching the ice melting. All the light is so nice. The second shot makes me think a little bird - his eye between the 2 green leaves - is popping out his head. Wonderful captures. genie
