Eliza Waters 
What a pretty shot! Who says black and white photography can’t be exceptional?
Thank you, Debbie. I left it in color, but I thought it wouldn’t be much different in monochrome. 🙂
Hope you are staying warm, Eliza. 😉
This cold spell necessitates serious clothing and short, brisk walks! 🥶
No kidding! We actually have bright sunshine and blue skies today. Planning on enjoying it as long as possible.
Oh, that’s a lovely capture, Eliza!
Thank you, Tina. I was drawn to the curves and contrast. 🙂
A beautiful photo, Eliza. Sounds like we’re about to get some of that solid and liquid also — the first of the season.
Thank you, Rebecca. We seem to get our coldest temps around the third week of January. It’s right on time! Stay warm. 🙂
Perfection!
Thank you, Dale!
Wowsah, that looks amazing Eliza! 🤍 xxx
Thank you, Xenia. And that gap is closing by the hour… we’re in for a real cold snap this week. 🙂
Yet both the same. Well, I won’t try to ski on the one in the middle anyway. Great shot kind lady, let them both ever mesmerise us 🤣❤️🙏
🙂 Thanks, Mark.
Very nice, Eliza! Read you’re having frigid temps!
Thank you, Jane. Yes, we’re in for it for about a week. Single digits above and below zero. Brrr! 🥶
Looks very wintery…sure feels like winter! Brrr. Must be easier for the Otters, that way…have you seen any, or evidence of some?
Yes, pretty brisk out there! No slides seen yet this year, but they are probably out there, I hope.
And yet immutable…one can become the other! Thank you, Eliza
Thanks for stopping by!
I meant to type NOT immutable…I’m in too much of a hurry today
👍🏼
That is pretty and chilly looking too ❄️
Thank you, Belinda. It’ll probably freeze entirely with this coming cold snap. This afternoon, the open part had a skim coating of ice already. Brrr!
beautiful
Thank you!
What a mysterious image. The black water looks very murky, even though it may not be in reality.
This was taken from above the river, looking down on the icy edges. It generally runs clear unless we’ve had a lot of rain. As it was a overcast day and snowing, I guess that accounts for the dark water. 🙂
A beautiful (but very cold looking) pic, Eliza.
Thank you, Monika. It’s been pretty cold and due to get even colder in the next 10 days. Fun! 😀
It’s going to be a brutal weekend with storms from the Southwest to the Northeast. Stay safe and warm.
Thank you, will do… they are predicting -17F windchill Saturday morning. I’m going to forego my walk, I think! Wren is not going to like potty time, either. 😀
Yikes, that’s too extreme for us too! Stay safe and warm.
👍🏼
Frigid beauty!
Thank you, Sandy, we’re having a ‘real’ winter this year!
So far, not much of a winter feel here. It is going to be really cold on Friday and Saturday. Precious little snow.
It is disturbing when the weather is off of normal. We need the expected patterns!
Agreed.
A very beautiful cold winter’s day. How cold is it? The snow looks like powder.
Thank you, Maria. It’s been below freezing for a week with lows at night in teens and single digits… even below zero. Even colder temps this coming week. But very typical for this time of year. ❄️
A real winter! I’ve spent some time in Stock this week and I’ve never seen this much snow there.
Beautiful capture, Eliza.
Thank you, Bela!
Fascinating how the water carves its way through and under the ice and snow.
It is… The faster water freezes last, and with the latest freeze the gap is closing fast!
Wow! Nice frame.
Thank you, Rupali!
Reflective of life, sometimes we need to stand solid while recognizing the need to also be fluid. Such a lovely photograph
Thank you, Karen! 🙏🏼
At last, we have a nice dose of liquid, but the solid is coming, encouraged by well below freezing temperatures. Ice and snow can be pretty, but icy roads? It’s Houston demolition derby time!
Ooh, the South does not do icy temps very well! Please stay safe and warm.
A stunning shot! It makes a great abstract. 😀
Thank you, Caroline. The elevated view helps. 🙂
Good to see you enjoying the black, white, and grays of winter.
Thank you, Steve. Other than brown, tan and a bit of evergreen, that’s pretty much it for us in winter.
Lovely winter image…(Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne. What a difference 6 months makes, eh? 😉
Drama, in black and white!

Thanks, Kris! 🙂
Monochrome makes it look even colder, Eliza!
Thank you, Bruce. 🙂
Sometimes black and white is more powerful than color. Just lovely, Eliza. 😍
Thank you, Carrie! 🙂
Black and white has the best contrast. Love the curve of the stream and the image.
Thank you, Tom. Always changing, too. 🙂
Perfect! Are you ready for the cold and storm?
Never ready in my mind, but the wood is stacked high and larder full. Potty breaks for Wren may be harsh, but we will survive! Stay safe and warm. 💕
True New Englanders stay warm and safe as you can.
Brrr – looking cold
Yes, very cold. We’re in for a very cold week ahead. Tomorrow will be the worst with a windchill at dawn of -18F (-27C)… ridiculously cold! Then Sunday and Monday will bring over a foot of snow. Golly, it is winter! 🥶
That is very cold. Stay warm
Thank you, I’ll try!
Yes, that’s a great representation of how things look around here! I imagine the liquid part won’t be liquid on the surface for much longer with these temperatures unless that’s fast running stream.
Thanks, K. You’re right, it’s frozen straight across now, but I still wouldn’t walk across it, as who knows how thick it is and it is deep water under there. 🙂
Amazing!
Thank you, Flavia. It has been very cold since I took this, so I bet it has frozen completely across. I need to get down there and take an update shot. 🙂
Nice contrast in this!
Thank you, the flowing form certainly grabbed my attention. 🙂
