Ice Feathers

Very cool ice formations today (pun intended)! It has been so frigid that what I call “ice feathers” have grown especially large and haven’t melted even at mid-day.

The above photo looks galactic.

Needles and feathers!

IMG_6753The temperature is rising and rain is forecast, so the above ‘art exhibit’ is due to change yet again. For the past few weeks, the weather has been wildly yo-yo-ing up and down, making for diverse ice formations on the river and stream. It’s lovely for walking about in Nature, but it is not so great when it comes to driving!
