Eliza Waters 
Love the crispy patterns.
Thank you, Laurie. Puddle ice is so fun to look at these wintry days.
What delicate tracery has been wrought here.
Thank you, Anne. Jack Frost and Mother Nature at play. 🙂
Wow, that looks unreal! Nature’s modern art.
Truly, ice formations are quite amazing this time of year, constantly changing, growing and shrinking. Never the same one day to the next.
Looks like an outline of an animal. Amazing 🤩
🙂 Thank you, Karen. Pareidolia!
Beautiful!!
Reblogged this on anitadawesauthor.com.
Nature can be so artistic…
Indeed. I never tire of her art. ❤
Me neither!

Lovely shot
Thank you, Sheree!
Nice, crisp ice. I looked but didn’t really find much that wanted to be photographed. Glad that you did, Eliza. Lovely.
Thank you, Steve. 🙂
Magical that ice grows like that. Karen Lang sees the ice animal…maybe a Chinese New Year Dragon?
Fascinating magic, to be sure!
Nature’s lace. Lovely!
Thank you, Dale! I like that: ‘nature’s lace.’ 🙂
🙂
Beautifully captured Eliza—texture, color, contrast!!!! Pure artistry. Love it 😍
Thank you kindly, Dee!
🙏🏽😊🙏🏽
The seeming ‘furriness’ of a portion of the ice certainly supports the vision of a critter. Its ‘eye’ and open ‘mouth’ suggest it might be on the prowl for dinner.
Ah, yes, I can see it. 🙂 Another good pareidolia!
frozen water
is the daughter
of the night before
blue white crystals
geodes
of don t tread on me
nor slip up again!
thank you
I’ve always been enchanted by the look of ice and snow, the way the freezing process makes art of the most mundane objects. Great shot Eliza.
Thank you, Sylvia. I can spend hours looking at ice formations, the variety is endless.
Beautiful contrast and art!
Thank you, Donna! x
How fantastic. Without the leaves it would be difficult to judge the scale.
Thank you! The first freezes of the season, before the snow covers everything up, yield amazing ice formations. Fun to inspect and capture.
Really lovely. Not a chance of such ice where I live!
Not a bad thing sometimes. Like today, we’re housebound by freezing rain. Not a bad thing either. 😉
Winter’s artistry, beautifully captured!
Thank you, Belinda!
Nice Eliza! Great detail!
Thank you, Reed!
Jack Frost has been busy! Very pretty!
Thank you, Barbara. One of the bonuses of frosty days and nights. 🙂
A dramatic art piece!
Ma Nature working her magic! 🙂
A beautiful capture Eliza, I can see a happy animal in there too! 💛 xxx
🙂 Thanks much, Xenia!
Frost animal on the prowl!!! It looks fairly friendly, though…
🙂 Looks a bit like an Asian Fu dog to me. 😉
Yes! Or some other mythical creature…
They look like lacy icy edges.
Thank you, Jill. Yes, a bit like a lacy tablecloth. 🙂
I love this photo: crystalline next to earthy and organic–nice combination! Great capture, Eliza.
Thank you very much, Tina!
Love the lacey pattern of the ice and it’s cooling me down just looking at it.
Take care you don’t slip. 🙂
Thank you, Vicki, glad it helps make your feel cooler. 🙂 At our age, we really have to watch the ice, which can be treacherous. My husband fell just this morning. Not good, but he’s okay, thankfully.
How very complex! Looks like giant snowflakes welded together. Great spot!
Thank you, Allison! Nature puts on a great art exhibit. 🙂
Beautiful!!
Thank you, Bela! x
❤️
Wonderful, love the fascinating designs on icy edges.🙂
Thank you, it’s visual fun!
Brrr! Looks cold! Great photo. Isn’t ice fascinating stuff?!
Sure is, I never tire of looking at it. Thanks, Cathy!
Fascinating Eliza!
Thank you, Cindy!
Looks beautiful … and COLD!!
Thank you, Debbie. Cold, but not too bad. 🙂
Beautiful!! I don’t like to walk or drive on it, but I do love to look at it. 🙂
Thanks, Judy. Same here. 🙂 Bet you’re glad you’re missing the cold and snow. Snow today, sleet on Sunday and single digits on Tues. oh boy.
Isn’t nature beautiful.
Certainly is! Thanks, Brian.
I seem to see an animal.
You have company! Fun pareidolia.
A beautiful winter still-life! 🙂
Thank you, Denise! x
