Frozen dance

There’s nothing quite like sparkles of sun dancing on the surface of the lake.  But where the water transforms to ice, the sparkles conform to and highlight the graphic lines.

Ups and downs

During freeze and thaw, any wave action along the shore throws water that with cold enough temperatures, freezes above the water line.

On the edge

Agimak Lake froze tight and hid immediately under snow this year.  Usually, we enjoy days of freeze and thaw at the water’s edge.  Delicate textures are created while the ice forms.  In the next few posts I’ll share some of the beauty captured last year.

 

Rough around the edges

The ice on Agimak Lake set in quickly this year.  One day the water was grey and fluid, the next day smooth and white, well, mostly smooth.  Along the shore it appears as if waves themselves were frozen.

First and last

The first flakes of wet snow cling to the last of my little maple’s leaves.
