Ice Blanket

Poor gumball, trapped in a frozen coat of ice. At least it had a sparkly effect in the sunset.

Still bitterly cold here. WTF. It's March, for heaven's sake. Puxsatawney Phil (the groundhog) and I must have a "chat." ;)

Thanks for taking time to visit.

Beautiful light and textures! Groundhog Day - my favourite film!

Effective. I would have probably gone for f4 or f5.6 to get more of the subject in focus. Very nice lighting.

Exquisite details in the ice.

Love that lacey ice, such a contrast with the seed-pod.

Beautiful capture, lovely contrast between the warm tones and the ice

Weather is absurd -- gale force winds throughout the night were eerie. Hope you warm up soon, but in the meantime, wow, what a shot!
