Macro Monday – Looking Forward to Spring

….even though we haven’t had much winter

The signs are out there that spring is just around the corner but I doubt that Winter is done with us just yet.

Ice Sculptures in Nature

with all the wave action from the lake and colder temperatures these sculptures emerge

It’s been an unusually warm winter but we’ve had a few colder days and when the waves from the lake hit the shoreline and the trees these lovely ice formations take place.

Walking on a Snowy Day

I started out in the morning when the snow was still light

I knew that as the snow accumulated throughout the day I was less likely to get out for my walk so I bundled up and headed out mid-morning. On the way as the snow started to accumulate on the plants and trees I stopped to take a few shots of the freshly fallen ice crystals.
