I believe in magic especially this winter as I’ve watched frost form upon the windows. Read more at Creativity Portal about the Winter Window Magic I’ve seen. Enjoy!

Ice upon windows is beautiful. At night that can be hard to remember as I shiver under the covers. But in the morning when the wintry sun strikes the delicate forms layered upon the glass … well, that’s a whole different situation, isn’t it? 😉
a figure in ice?

I don’t know … I feel like I see a figure in the icicle. A drooping shoulder. A lean torso narrowing into nothingness as the sun melts its frame. Perhaps I have been reading too many fantasy novels. What do you see? 😉

I don’t think 100 has been reached yet, but … close enough. 97 degrees is all the excuse I need to play with some ice. 😉
Feathers On Ice

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.
This morning, my eyes fell upon the white feather, an item I have photographed many times before.
It sits in a shallow dish on the window sill of my writing nook. Today I noticed that its delicate barbs almost touched the nearby pane. If it had, would it have been frozen as well?
Both infused and illuminated by sunlight, and juxtaposed against the growing blue of the sky and the sparkling crystals of the melting ice, well … the color-filled scene was near magical.
Still, after a while, I found myself switching to black and white on the camera. Just to see what would happen. I’m glad I did.
Ice in the Fells

One of my favorite hiking spots in Massachusetts is the Middlesex Fells which you can read more about here. One year I was lucky enough to capture the above image of one of its waterfalls frozen. 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.

Though I had to cancel a major trip, given the stories emerging about the impact of this most recent storm on the east coast, I certainly have nothing to complain about. Especially not when I can walk by the river and see these sights.
