Ice flowers



This is the time of year that we get to see some interesting formations. As of yet this year we haven't had too much hoar frost. The local Indian name for that is pogonip. Now I might not have spelled it correctly but at least that's the way it's pronounced. Needless to say there's still enough moisture in the air at night to grow some interesting ice crystals. This morning when I got in my truck the windshield had an interesting coating of ice. So interesting in fact, that I felt it was picture worthy.
Had a long walk up the Bizz today and found some more interesting ice formations on one of the bridge railings. Winter is still one week away but I'd say it started early this year. As much as I love seeing the flowers in the spring, this time of year the only flowers that can be found around here are ice flowers. Ya Gotta love that!
