Ice

The night of Saturday/Sunday was very cold,

 but there was a strong wind blowing the length of the pond, so a layer of ice could not form.

 By the time I walked the dogs,

 there were balls of ice formed

 around each stem sticking out of the water.

 The bubbles are from the wavelets that passed under the ice.

 

Watery Wednesday

The temperature was well below freezing this morning, so the ice bubbles were trapped in the ice. You can also see the scratches where the dogs were moving too quickly.

Water

There is a fountain in the pool on the other side of the steps from the koi pond, in the greenhouse at the college.

Cracks in the Ice

Away from the current, the ice was safe to walk on,

 so I could examine these fissures up close. 

 

Details in the Ice

First time I have made it to the river (and home) since I got sick. After the rain on Saturday, then the snow and freezing temperatures, the ice that was clear of snow was slick as glass.

I love this footprint, caught in the freeze,

 and the bubbles rising from it.

 

Bubbles

Remember last month, I posted this photo of bubbles in ice, and we were trying to figure out how the bubbles were formed? Well, this weekend I was at the same stream, and there were bubbles in the water. Mystery solved!
