Ice on the Delaware  by olivetreeann

Ice on the Delaware

I went to a lunch gathering at church today and on my way there I noticed some rather large ice floes on the Delaware River. So on my return journey I stopped by one of the boat launches to capture a shot. It was bitter cold and windy but at least we had sunshine and blue skies!
Goodness, what a lovely winter shot! Its hard to believe that a river can freeze!

It looks great, and so far not many problems with the melting. Hope it stays that way

Spectacular, what a scene

Love how the blue sky is reflecting off the water to make it look almost inviting! ;) Can you imagine how cold that water is!?!?!

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie- since it's fresh water, it can freeze. I don't know though if it has ever frozen completely.

Thank you Kerri, Glendq, Sally, Hope, Alia, Dione, Rick, Nicole and Laurie! We are back to warmer temps today which is nice. But I think the crisp air temps yesterday actually made the blue of the sky and river even bluer.

@mzzhope Thank you so much for the fav Hope!!

@cimes1 Thank you Carole! It was so nice to have the sun, but it really was cold with the wind blowing!

@summerfield Thanks Vikki! Thankfully just bits and pieces of it. We had a warmer day yesterday, so this morning the chunky parts are gone and only a thin top layer remains.

Nice shot, Ann! The water looks so pretty and contrasts well with the ice. Well done :)
March 18th, 2014  
Agree with Bev, but how many degrees is there?

@prttblues Thanks Bev!
@vesna0210 Thanks Vesna! It was pretty chilly on this day. I don't remember the exact temperature, but it was also windy which makes it feel even colder. I think it was somewhere around 30 to 35 degrees on this day. Today (3/19) it is hovering around 40 degrees. And next week it is supposed to be cold again.
