the ice will have melted.
The panes of glass will be mostly clear.
The icy forest will be gone.
And likely I’ll be a bit warmer, but what a way to start the day. 😉

Steve says this ice image reminds him of the Little Prince on his asteroid B-612 traveling the universe. What do you see? 😉
more ice on the windows

Clearly, I don’t live in the most insulated house in the world.
But if I did, I don’t know how I would experience this beauty to be found on windows first thing in the morning.
Of course, as I write these words, I am reminded of folks who say that I tend to find the bright side of any situation.
But I wasn’t trying to come to terms with the cold this morning as I wandered from window to window. I reflected on the fact that different windows had different displays of ice from individual crystals to long glittering strands to sheets of ice thinly covering whole window panes.
The most surprising find of the morning was the rainbow. I stood next to an especially patterned window just as the light shifted or I shifted or whatever … all I know is I saw a rainbow and it was lovely. 😉
ice at belle isle

As I post this picture taken yesterday of ice on a Belle Isle trail, I look out the kitchen window and view light dancing upon water. Not river or pond water but water pooling upon asphalt. Heavy rains in New England at the moment, and the light that shines down is street and car lights. Red, gold, green. In this photo, the sun was setting and illuminating wonderful patterns at my feet of water cradling rocks and broken glass and bits of grass.
winter’s light revisited

It has been almost two years since my photo essay Winter’s Light appeared in Talking Writing.
Of course I still love the light of this approaching season.
With that winter’s light in 2011, I focused on the illumination of “ordinary objects,” from condensation to old postcards hung on a wall.
With this morning’s near-winter light, I was struck by the illumination of branching fingers of ice.
To view such scenes at the start of the day feels magical. Feels cold, too, but still magical. 😉

Water is the common theme, with all its simplicity of form and complex properties. Unseen trees reflected in the still waters of recent rains along the Charles River Esplanade.
Light bouncing around the ice enhancing the vibrant colors of rocks held tight on a Woburn road.
The two pictures were taken years apart but will both be on exhibit this April at different events. If you’re in the neighborhood, I hope you’ll stop by to see the work of all the artists on show.

found along an icy path

I only had to hop one fence, calm down one startled rabbit, and wade hip-deep through one muddy grove to reach the graveled path leading up to the power station. I had visited this area before and was curious what this season held for viewing. For the most part, I kept my camera aimed high hoping to catch sight of the hawk I’d seen before but then at some point I realized I should watch my footing on the icy rocks. I glanced down and this is what I saw.
In one small area ice sheets stretched. In some places water bubbled beneath the surface. Rocks and leaves were enveloped by sheer winter wraps.  Later at home I played around a bit with the lighting. Revealed were bright stars in a dark sky and stained glass perfect for an outdoor cathedral.
One day later my hands are still cold from that impromptu icy shoot. But I think the numbness was worth it.
