Just how cool is this?

Icy stand of trees... a sign of spring?

Icy image of trees

Much to my surprise I discovered an icy stand of trees imprinted on the pedestrian bridge decking earlier this week.  This image was cased by melting snow. The optimist that I am takes it as a sign of spring ahead.

I added the green hue to enhance the spring effect!

More icy artwork on the pond

What amazing artwork the cold frost created on the pond at Bassett Creek Park!  This picture was taken with temperatures of about 10 degrees below Fahrenheit.

Ice transitioning to water in gutter

I was drawn to the melting water in the street gutter while on a walk yesterday morning.  Ever since I was a kid the flowing water and the natural dams that formed along the side of the street intrigued me.  As a boy I felt compelled to blast open those dams with my rubber rain boots.  Sadly I didn't find any dams that needed exploding on my walk, but I did spot some miniature water falls, developed from layers of freezing water along the roadside.
