I stopped at my favorite river again last week and noticed that the slow takeover of the ice had begun. Fortunately, I must have gotten there long after the raccoon or whatever little sharp-toothed animal leaves those tiny footprints frozen in the sand! I really don't like winter, but I have to admit that it can be beautiful in some ways, like the intricate pattern of each snowflake as it falls on your mittens or the sound that the lake makes as the ice expands or the frightening crack you hear when someone else drives on to the lake while you're on it in a fishing shack at night or just the absolute quiet you may get to experience between snow storms and bitter winds. Thanks for views and comments my friends!

This is really nice, very good shot of this ice thing you speak of... and the sounds of frozen lakes? say what? I ran my A/C all day today.

Great shot, Tina. I love the Mother Natures ice designs in this. A couple of the rocks have a shell design to them and the leaves look great.
Nice spot and camera work!

An usual formation of thin ice with all the markings on it. Looks beautiful with all the rocks and the clear water beyond the icy water.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

The ice surrounding the rocks reminds me of Cristo's work - wonderful capture and composition, even showing (if frozen) some movement.

my best images happen by accident. there is so much to be seen in the minutiae surrounding us that we often miss the very best.
