As I post, the truncated 2012-13 NHL season start is still unknown. Meantime, the purest form of the game continues on ponds and lakes and rinks throughout the country.

over under
Water cascades over rocks in the creek glazing them as temperatures hover around the freezing point.
Freezing point
We all know water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32F). When the air temperature hovers at that point we can find water in both solid and liquid form.
This day the spring melt falls over a highway rock cut and builds ice at the bottom.
Black or white
It’s odd how ice can appear one or the other.
This puddle in my drive way lies on gravel and has a pocket of air under it. You know the kind, the ones you smash under your feet as kids.
This one was on my neighbour’s paved driveway. The less porous surface left no room for air to be captured underneath.
No doubt by the time these shots are posted today, the warmth of the sun will have transformed the solid to liquid and maybe even vapour!
Slippery slope
Snow on a metal roof like that of our aircraft hangar, has a tough time staying put when temperatures hover around the freezing point.
I love the contrast of the steely grey of the metal and the fresh whiteness of the snow. The sky was broken and allowed the occasional sneak peak of bright blue through.
Soft side
And then surrounded by sharp lines, a feather!
