Nature's Ice Sculpture

Can you see the heart?

Last week the weather was COLD.  A natural spring near my home flows year round. This week the splatters formed interesting shapes and then slowly melted. Some of the shapes you can see here.

    Beautiful. I love the first one with the heart. We're in a 'heat wave' here this weekend. Going up to 10 again today. ;)

    I can definitely see the heart and the green clinging to life beneath the ice. :)

    I suspect that your own heart is warmer than this, but if nature is going into the deep freeze, the shape could have been worse :-)

    I see the heart! Took me a few seconds, but how cool. Can't believe it's that cold there. We were in the 30s for two mornings this week and for the weekend we will have the a/c back on. Grrrrr.

    I see the heart. That seems like a lot of ice. We are getting snow today in our part of the country but no ice like that.

    Jest serce, ale z lodu, zimne. Smutno, że idzie taka pora roku. Zdjęcia jednak są świetne. Pozdrawiam.
    It is the heart, but with ice cold. I was going this time of year. Photos, however, are great. Yours.

    These are wonderful glimpses of the frozen world...or melting world...whichever way you look at it. I love the shape of the first ones...then something about the second makes me smile...and I have no idea why.
