Ice, Ice, Baby

I think the Snow Queen must have gone through the puddles and I found myself humming this as I added to the icicles in the hedge
Beautiful ❤️

Whoa!!! That is so unusual.

Stunning

How fascinating is this? I see all that ice, yet the upper part and the surrounding scene don't seem cold. So puzzling.
February 10th, 2021  
Don't think I've seen one to this degree before - and nice multiplication in reflection
February 10th, 2021  
Wow! That is such a great find!
February 10th, 2021  
LOL at the title, but well impressed with the scene. Lovely ice. Great impact.

A wonderful ice sculpture.

How weird is that? Great photo.
February 10th, 2021  
Wow! Great reflections and ice shapes.
February 10th, 2021  
Interesting. Wonder where all the water for the icicles came from, since they are only on the bottom? A hydrant spewing? Great reflections.
February 10th, 2021  
Oh wow so interesting, never seen anything like this before.
February 10th, 2021

Thank you all, there's a tale to this, so, stop reading now if you want!

I was out in the car to travel to the farm shop and thought to combine my journey with my daily exercise and photo walk on the beach.

This is a narrow lane I use as a shortcut and the fields drain onto it. The puddle is right on the junction, on a blind bend, cars turn into the lane quickly, whizz through the puddle , splash the hedges,and the water is frozen.

I did my exercise, drained my camera batteries and departed to go to the farm shop on my return trip. But I remembered the icicles and wanted to see them again. I obviously couldn't take any photos, no battery in camera and I'd be driving on a narrow lane, with fast cars coming towards me and probably behind me.

As I approached the bend I slowed down ( it's a dangerous bit if road!) the icicles were glinting in the sun.

I checked my mirror ( Dave Shell my driving instructor in 1970s would be most impressed!) I slowed to a snail's pace, picked up my phone ( Oh! Officer, it's a camera not a communication device. Honest!) and took a shot through the windscreen.

I drove alongside the puddle and frozen hedge, couldn't see around the blind bend, but the sight was sooo pretty, I wound down my window, pointed the phone out of it and clicked. Just as I wound up my window around the bend sped a huge car, adding to the ice on the hedge and splattering me. ( Git!!)

Oh!! The shortcut bypasses the farm shop, so no shopping achieved. Ooops 😉

Ah, makes much more sense now
February 11th, 2021  
I'd have to forgive some of the speeding cars because without them you wouldn't have had this fabulous scene to photograph (albeit somewhat illegally)
February 11th, 2021  
LOL! Absolutely loved the story! You give Vikki some competition with your storytelling!
February 11th, 2021  
Great shot, edit and description of the effort to create it. .Bravo.
February 11th, 2021
