Ice Abstraction

 Abstract art found in a frozen shard of ice - how intriguing it looks close up!

I think it's magnificent.

Rock Bottom

The extended period of low water in our lake has given us a chance to see what lies beneath, without even needing a snorkel.

This is what the bottom of the lake looks like in places - it's hard to imagine that this is what we're usually walking on when we wade out to swim.

Cold Beeches

 

Marcescent beech leaves

Shiver and tremble with each

Icy blast of wind

DIY Day

I decided it was time to get my hair cut, and had watched hours of YouTube videos about how to do this at home, so decided to give it a try myself (again). And with the weather as "warm" as 43°F, I opted to do this outside (less mess to clear up).

I was following directions when I took this snap of me with my hair parted and tied with double elastics, and my bangs clipped back. As you can see, I'm lop-sided from having gone ahead and cut one of the ponytails off (unevenly!) 

After releasing the elastics, it was just a matter of clipping and evening it out before trimming my bangs. This is what I ended up with - glad I did it.
