We are supposed to have record high temps today. I wonder if the ice will still be there.

Winter is such a bleak time for me. The short days, cold winds and the fact I can't spend as much time outdoors really weighs on me. I guess that is what is so great about spring.

Living in tropical Singapore, I'll never be able to experience the coldness or harshness of a winter.

I do enjoy playing in the snow for a day or two when I go for a winter holiday. But then I find it fun. hehe...

Chris said...

Now that looks cold but beautiful.

It is 65 degrees here in Georiga at 3:00 in the afternoon. No rain but it has been cloudy all day. They are calling for rain. I hope we get some since we are suffering from drought.

Like eastcoastlife, I do live in a tropical country and seeing this amazes me.
Mine is up too.

Jim said...

This is pretty! It reminds me of the rivers I experenced when I lived in New Hampshire.
We don't have those in Southeastern Texas. Once in about 10 or 20 years we have a little snow.
Happy WW!

DoubleDeckerBusGuy said...

Great pictures, but I ask like the other commenters, are you having the warm weather we are? Is the ice still there? Yesterday, in Toronto, I was outside a few times sans jacket and in a T-Shirt... it was like mid-May weather here.

Chris in Oxford said...

beautiful - very abstract! thanks for your visit.

Not Afraid to Use It said...

Now THAT is some serious ice! I thought we had it bad here! Very cool pic!

The Artist said...

Wow, that does look cold.

Sandy Carlson said...

We've had the heatwave here, too! It's a little weird. I was going to go back to the river to photograph it now, but it was too muddy!

Lloyd Irving Bradbury said...

The last few weeks my mine dreams of flowers. It seems that my fellow artist bloggers do too. Most of them have included this colorful natural sperit, a show of life regeneration.
They remind us of the flying flowers called buterflys and birds. Why not get in the mood of with these pleasant colors of life

Rhonda said...

Beautiful, but I had to put my sweatshirt back on just to view it. ;)

Alison said...

That looks beautiful. I love the look of ice and snow, but I don't like being out in it for long!

ZJ said...

I have never been to a cold country yet, and I do not mind swapping places with you for a day or two :D Probably the coldest place I've ever been to was Kathmandu, Nepal last month.

catsynth said...

Great detail. The textures and shapes are fascinating even before considering that it is ice.

I remember those cold winters in the northeast...
