Eliza Waters 
Lovely. I do like your ice splinter images. Ice crystals up close also keep me entertained as we don’t get them here. Perhaps there are some at the top of the mountain slopes but I never get to see those.
Please post some more (if you have them). 🙂
Thank you, Vicki. I can get lost in such intricately lacy ice. There is an infinite amount I could share!
Very cool, in more than one way!
Ha, yes… thank you, Sandy!
It looks like a wintery version of a game of Pick-Up Sticks!
Oh, yes, I remember that game, good analogy! Thanks, Linda.
These look very pretty – something I am unlikely to see for myself.
Thanks, Anne. Lots of freezing and thawing happening these days… always something new to see. 🙂
Great shot
Merci!
Beautiful! I’ve always been fascinated by iced water on windows. My family’s house had old windows that when iced, they were amazing. In freezing cold weather they displayed scenes of ferns and vegetation that varied from window to window. Heat leakage on old windows of course but so elegant and artistic. ❄️🤩😍
Thank you, Shelley! Our stream and river (and puddles of course) are rendering fascinating images these days. 🙂
I’m delighted by your ‘aliveness’ to seeing them. So many people look but do not see such things. 🤩😍🤗💕
Ice formations are certainly one of Mother Nature’s finest art creations.
Thanks, Judy. Agreed, and no two alike, always amazing. 🙂
Stay warm in the freeze coming this weekend!
Beautiful photo, Eliza! So fragile…I know you love these formations…me, too.
Thank you, Alice! I simply cannot resist taking yet another photo of ice formations! Endlessly fascinating. 🙂
Now, that would make a good jigsaw puzzle!
Oy! 😀
Oooh; love it! Brings back my childhood memories!
The stream is full of such examples, hard to tear myself away! 🙂
Crunchy!! I love the textures..are you warm yet?
I can never bring myself to smash the ice I see, it seems sacrilegious! The temps continue to go up and down every few days, so weird. Ice, melt, snow, rain. Really cold coming this weekend. 😦
Mother Nature displaying her art once again! Lovely. We have had such mild weather that all is melted. 😦 I am not pleased!
Just wait a minute… the cold returns this weekend! 🥶
Us too!! Please bring snow with it, at least!
Yes, it looks like we might have a white Christmas after all. 🙂 ❄️
Fingers crossed!! 💝❄️
Very clever= ice splinters 😊
Thank you!
Whoa! Fantastic!
🙂 Thank you, Julie!
Ooh, so beautiful, Eliza, and great in monochrome. Well captured. ❄️
Thank you, Jane! x
Pretty! Are they caused by sheets of ice crashing into one another?https://krispgarden.blogspot.com/
As the temp reaches 32º, crystals start to form, and depending on the moisture in the air as it condenses and the water itself, as well as how quickly the temp drops (or doesn’t) all affects how the crystals form and grow. I know, a long answer, but there are so many different kinds of ice formations!
Ice has a way of beautifying everything, doesn’t it … provided, of course, that you’re bundled warmly when you have to go out in it!
Thank you, Debbie. Indubitably!
Always love when you post these. Water in one of her most brute, beautiful and mystical forms.
Thank you, Isha. I find ice so captivating!
Absolutely is!
Nicely captured, Eliza! Such beautiful etchings.
Thank you, Belinda!
Brrr…I got the shivers just looking at those splinters.
Ha, yes, it’s rosy cheek weather!
Lots of pretty ice details. This kind of ice finally showed up in my town last week, but it was as exuberant as the patterns you captured.

Thank you, Tom. I am drawn into these scenes every time.
Ice crystals can be so beautiful! We are currently experiencing very icy conditions everywhere..
Ah, so you have much of Nature’s artwork to enjoy. 🙂 Stay safe and warm!
Jack Frost has been busy! Love the icy artwork.
Thank you, Barbara!
Beautiful
Thank you, Diana!
Wonderful ice close-up!
Thank you, Denise! One of the many surprises I find on my walks.
OMG, I love this!!🙂
Thank you! Ice is never boring, at least not for me. 😉
Striking image!
Thank you, Alex!
Icy flowers, almost. Lovely!
Thanks, Adele!
Ice splinters are much nicer than the other kind! 😊
Indeed, at least these will melt and not fester! 😀
Another beautiful “fill the frame” image. Wonderful. 🙂
Thank you, Jane! x
That’s a good winter abstraction. Presumably you don’t have to worry about splinters of this type getting in your skin.
Thanks, Steve. These were thin, but thicker ones can be quite dangerous, particularly icicles hanging from eaves that give way.
