I find it remarkable how the newly formed ice can look so much like oil paint brush strokes!

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.
Watching water freeze
Agimak Lake gradually opened up over the last few days. Today it is practically clear save what was blown into the bay.
Monday night the still air slowly dipped below zero Celcius with the golden, setting sun. While catching shots of the day’s final rays of light on the texture of ice in the bay, spikes and feathers of ice grew before my eyes!
