Watery Wednesday: Frozen

Since my world has been a frozen one for a few days I thought I would share a couple of macros I took yesterday. The first one is a sweet shrub branch encapsulated in ice. I hope if you have a minute you'll enlarge this one and look at the lower right corner of the focused section. I had downloaded the photos and zoomed in to take a look at the different patterns of the ice. I was surprised to see a little blue angel behind the ice. Don't worry if in your imagination you don't see her. That just means she was only meant for me.

This little ice sculpture takes on different appearances depending on how you look at it. When I first downloaded it I thought it looked like the end of an upholstery hammer. A couple of glances later I decided it looked like a bird walking up the stem with a seal following behind. It was a cold day yesterday and I was bored. What can I say!

Watery Wednesday: Crunchy River

***(The Alphabet Photo Challenge Is Below This)***

I know it's frozen water again this week but I really wanted to share this scene. This is the Little Kanawha River here in Parkersburg. I had to ask myself if it was really this cold. The river flows to a bend in the river and then there is an older bridge with piers in the water. When the river began thawing it got backed up at the bridge and kept backing up. This picture was taken Sunday afternoon and the temperatures haven't gone above freezing since so it is taking a little while to melt. Our local TV station reports that the river will most likely rise at least six feet as the ice melts. Flood stage is at ten feet.

This reminds me of the scene from Superman when he goes 'home.'

I don't think there will be any fillups anytime soon!

For those of you who need to see the water - a neighbor's roadway beginning to thaw. If you enlarge it you can see the little ripples of rolling water.

Even the ducks at the park are sitting and waiting patiently for the thaw.
