Fun With Frozen Things

After a couple of days of mostly staying home, and since it was a decent temperature outside, I took a walk today. I brought my camera because I've gotten in the habit of always bringing it when I go for a walk, and because I figured I'd best take advantage of the snow.











Still, my priority was to go for a walk, not to take pictures. When I got home and hooked up the camera, my computer told me I had 150 pictures. A couple were from a few days ago when I had a huge icicle hanging off the gutter, but most were just today. Oh well, so much for a photo-light walk.

I love this bird's nest shot.










Once I hit the Nature Center I walked out on the pier (?) type thing that juts out over the river. The way the snow melted and ran off on the wood planing makes for an interesting pattern.













By far, one of the highlights was when I walked over to the river by the dam where some of the slow-moving water was frozen over. Around some of the rocks there were very cool fractal-like formations in the ice. As a bonus, I even got mud all over my shoes! Worth it, though. Definitely worth it.
