Shadows and Cracks

Look at how similar these crack patterns in the ice are to tree shadows

Dendritic patterns recur in nature at various scales and scenarios

Curlicues

 Snow curlicues - how elegant!

I'm amazed at how little connection is required to keep the droplets suspended as part of the structure.

Web Décor

I don't know whether to call this a window decoration or web décor, quite frankly. It's the remains of prey in a spiderweb that I can see through my window.

I think I saw it referred to as 'post mortem manipulation'

The Return of Monochromy

Just as I was gloating over a return to a varied color palette, I was greeted again by this vision. It was expected, so not too shocking, but dang, I want to see more green settle in.

We've had a crowd of wood ducks (or is it a lumberyard, Dale suggests) and ring-neck ducks enjoying the seclusion and habitat our cove and breakwater offers. 

This is so picturesque!
