Effectively, I used to be out sliding round on the ice once more this week. I made two journeys as much as the tiny reservoir north of Aurora to seek for photograph compositions on its frozen floor. I used to be not dissatisfied.
Some latest windy days had blown seeds of each dogbane and milkweed on to the ice, the place they’d ended up perched on their comae (their fluffy components). Wasn’t that fortuitous! They appear actually fairly after they do this.
Each instances I visited, there was a small duck hanging out on the ice. I approached rigorously and it appeared amenable to being photographed. I’m fairly certain it was my comfortable, comforting voice and non-threatening hat.
It was good to see I wasn’t the one lunatic strolling round on the ice. A number of raccoons had additionally been round, based mostly on the quite a few tracks I discovered.
The spotlight of my two journeys, in fact, had been the ice bubbles. Many of the ice regarded like frosted glass and wasn’t clear sufficient to point out the ice bubbles that had been absolutely trapped inside it. Across the base of some crops, although, it regarded just like the ice had melted and refrozen, and that’s the place the bubbles had been. The remainder of the images listed below are just some examples of the various, many bubbles I loved photographing. I discover them mesmerizing to stare at – like little galaxies of bubbles.
We’re in the midst of a giant chilly snap as I write this. I’m hopeful that I’ll get some extra probabilities to {photograph} ice bubbles, seed comae, frost, and different winter wonders quickly. Keep tuned!
