These bubbles trapped in ice looked to me like cells dividing. The one on the left even has a nucleus. Note the ‘bullet hole’ bubble in the upper left corner.
I’m never bored when walking out in nature as there are endlessly fascinating things to observe. Ice patterns are one of the benefits of living in a cold climate!

This is my diary of the wildlife where I live in Oxfordshire, and sometimes the places I visit. I am a 15 year old young naturalist with a passion for British wildlife, especially Badgers and Hares. I have been blogging since May 2013 and you can read my old blog posts at www.appletonwildlifediary.blogspot.co.uk

I see you ARE finding beauty! I can appreciate this so much more from here – beautiful.
🙂 I think it’s in our blood!
It certainly does look like cell division. I enjoy these glimpses into frozen nature. Thank you Eliza.
Thank you, Micheal, you probably like that it’s only glimpses– The real thing is pretty cold! 😉
I didn’t want to that out loud. Thanks for reading my mind! 😉
Fantastic!
Thanks, Sharon. 🙂
What a keen observation. I’d forgotten this about ice and also that kind of strange sonic noise it can make at times.
Oh, yes, expansion and contraction booming across a lake that you are in the middle of is rather alarmingly unforgettable!
Ice patterns are ethereal and you are so right, they seem like frozen examples of cellular life. How brilliant of you to think of this!
Thanks, Cindy. 🙂
Great shot.
Thank you, Fi. I appreciate your taking time to stop by and comment. Hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
Way cool! 🙂
Thanks, Julie 🙂
Wow! This is an inside look at a scientific mind! 🙂
Yep, I’m revealing my true colors! 😉
As a biologist, you really warmed my heart with this one Eliza.

Stunning photo, Eliza. I think you try to live your life a lot like the way I try to live mine — looking for those small moments of beauty in nature, and finding meaning in your life from those small things. Does that make sense?
Absolutely, you’re singing my tune! Glad to meet a fellow seeker! 🙂
Haha, I love the analogy. The picture is great! It reminds me of my childhood, when I would look for different patterns in the ice or snow. 🙂
Really neat!
Thanks, Robbie!
That is so cool! I’m a little envious because I don’t get to experience that kind of winter anymore (it’s warmer here than where I used to live, and we don’t get much ice and snow). I am so glad you’re out there capturing the beauty so I don’t have to miss it completely. 🙂
Glad to provide the vicarious experience without the frozen fingers and toes! The grass is always greener, I envy your milder winter weather, but of course, not your hot, humid summers!
As a former biology teacher, I love this!
Thought you might enjoy this?
