We've got ice today, with many striking textures and shapes. My mother-in-law is fond of saying that there's no bad weather; there's only inappropriate clothing. I haven't really mastered the art of always wearing appropriate clothing, but since I will be out this winter walking our puppy no matter what, I'd better make more of an effort!

I think of ice as an art brush used by nature. And it doesn't get enough credit as such. Thanks for giving it its just due!
The Ice Crystal Dancer is magical. And the Ice Lanterns are intriguing (the pairing of fire and ice).
Enjoyed seeing the old photos. I can just see the cars sliding around, and have to grin at the sight of the skaters sailing on the ice.
I had this post open in my tabs meaning to leave a comment a couple days ago... distracted as usual! Some of this photography is really stunning! Love those lanterns.
Gorgeous photos! And while all that ice is beautiful, I'm gonna claim inappropriate clothing and stay down here near the coast. Come visit if it gets too cold! :0)
