Art In The Ice

The yoga studio’s vernal pool was full and thick with decorated ice this morning. Many leaves including the oak leaf here in the artwork. First captured by the wind and then anchored by the water and ice.

The cold, and all the beautiful snow and ice takes me to a different world. Just this morning I had a chat via text with a dear friend who shares similar feelings about the winter season. She told me that taking a breath of the cold winter air is like breathing in peppermint. Oh what a perfect description.

Mighty Cold

One day later and it was mighty cold this morning at the yoga studio, 28°. The newly filled vernal pool pleased me with its thin covering of ice. I always bring along my camera, and Mother Nature did the rest.

Something I Miss

At the yoga studio that I visit often there has been a vernal pool. Notice I said, “has been.” Over the years it has been there nearly all the time. Sometimes large, sometimes small, but there.

It has provided me and my camera much entertainment. Particularly in the cold weather with its frost and ice creating wonderful natural artwork.

I doubt I’ve seen water there in more than a year. I miss it.
