Reminds me of Escher's "Three Worlds" (and some other Eschers, with the whole scale/shade flip going on.) Nice composition!

Thank you very much!

rebeccagrambo.bsky.social•37 days ago

Beautiful!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

It helped having a destination that I knew would be beautiful

rebeccagrambo.bsky.social•37 days ago

It makes a difference! Looks like a wonderful spot!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's a little manmade waterfall from long ago when there were various mills and such in the area and they created little canals and dams.

Lovely!

clinto.bsky.social•37 days ago

🥇🏅🎖️Here’s three - well done!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you! 😁

Omg this is such a great shot, the way the ice fades away, the colors-- your eye for shots is so wonderful 😭💙💙💙 ice truly is beautiful!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you so much 😊

taraknits.bsky.social•37 days ago

Same.

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Beautiful!

betsycooley.bsky.social•37 days ago

Beautiful photo. I love looking at photos of ice.

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you. It’s a nice consolation for dealing with the cold. So many different shapes and textures

betsycooley.bsky.social•37 days ago

A stream is a perfect place to watch ice form!

gwen4braves.bsky.social•37 days ago

It is indeed fabulous! I'm glad you decided to brave a walk today.

somuchpingle.bsky.social•37 days ago

It bbbbbetter be buhbuhbuhbeautiful cuz it looks ccccold

watchinthesky.bsky.social•37 days ago

That IS pretty fabulous!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Right? And in a couple days there should be even more ice. It’s supposed to be in the single digits 🥶

watchinthesky.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes, out west we’ve been hearing about the vortex 😱 even with the distractions of the now in place fire weather and red flag warnings. Thought maybe we were past that for a while, now the rest of the week til Friday will be dicey 🔥

saskajanet.bsky.social•37 days ago

🏅Proud of you!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you. 😁 You probably would have been in a t shirt! It was about -6C with a breeze

saskajanet.bsky.social•37 days ago

Maybe not a t-shirt but definitely not what I was wearing on my walk this morning 🤣 (it was in the mid -30's)

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

I would definitely need some new gear for that!

saskajanet.bsky.social•37 days ago

The waterfall is neat. Did you see any birds/critters?

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

There was a Carolina Wren who eluded my photographic efforts. And I heard some robins but couldn't see them. Not bad for such a cold day

rebeccagrambo.bsky.social•37 days ago

Refreshing!

saskajanet.bsky.social•37 days ago

Indeed. It was so calm on my route, which was nice. Disappointed to miss out on my usual morning photo. Hopefully the trail is re-opened tomorrow

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Was it closed for wintry reasons? Too much ice and snow?

frwildflowers.bsky.social•37 days ago

🏆 award for surviving 21F. 👍

Shoveled snow again today at 7 F since we got unexpected snow last night.

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Brrrrr! I do not deal well with the cold at all. So for me a walk at 20 degrees is impressive. And it’s going to 7 tonight 🥶

coalshork.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's uh.. it's -16f (-27c) here...

frwildflowers.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s been -8 F overnight here, but I’m sure places like wherever you are are colder. Certainly Canadians have us beat, easy.

coalshork.bsky.social•37 days ago

I'm from Minnesota lol

doctorjamesd.bsky.social•37 days ago

Oh wow, that looks like a painting you'd see in an art gallery! Absolutely gorgeous

gettoknownature.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you! 😊

bekadoodles.bsky.social•37 days ago

Awesome ice falls! Love finding these in the wintertime.
