comes the ice

here's the (other) down side of all the snow we've had this winter: all the ice we're having now that snow is melting or being washed away! although this may look much like a skating rink, it is not. it's a field that runs through the flats between the distant hills and the unseen river. crops grow there in summer, deer run in fall, but now that it's getting close to spring, it's just a huge expanse of ice. 

and in the woods this morning, droplets of water are frozen in time, glistening in the early sunlight. not a great shot - it was actually quite magical. you should have been there...
