I saw and photographed the reflection …

As coffee brews in the morning, I find myself doing a quick scan of the windows to see the patterns of ice that have formed in the night. Usually my attention is focused just on the windows, the ice crystals and the slow movement of light across the sky.

With recent frigid temps, Steve and I wandered back to the falls to see if it had re-frozen for this winter. Not quite yet, but there was plenty of beautiful ice to be seen.
