Iced boulders



Took the dog for a walk at a local conservation area the other day; we're lucky enough to live near a Great Lake.  Despite the season, there was no snow on the ground in the fields, but you should have seen the sight near the water!  There are water breaks of enormous boulders which have been snowed upon and splashed and frozen, and they looked like enormous candies covered with shiny white icing.  An amazing sight.  Then over near some docks there were snow/ice formations that held your eye for ages because the shapes were so varied.  It was like clouds:  how many different things can you see in it?  Very cool.

  1. Those accordion pleated ice formations remind me of giant icy mushroom gills. Beautiful, indeed.
