“Ice Princess” / Theme: Charming
This block of ice started to melt in a very interesting way. To me, it looks like an ice princess getting ready for a dance. And since Valentine’s Day was yesterday, I figure this Princess Charming would do well for this week’s photo!
That big leaf? I’m not sure if it’s her hat or an umbrella.

“What Is It?” / Theme: Historical
I have no clue what this is. It’s right at the water’s edge. This is near the location where rowers do their thing, sooooo I’m thinking it’s some sort of boat?? (Certainly not one of the sleek Olympic-style boats you normally see around here. They hold competitions just across the water.)
But… WHY is it here? There’s got to be some history here. Unfortunately, I’ll probably never know.

“Wonder in Ice” / Theme: Wonder
This past weekend, we had a wee ice storm. And it produced such beauty and wonder in its own way. It’s like a piece of art. Cold art. (And when you’re taking photos in such outdoor conditions, you have to be careful NOT to slip and hurt yourself.)

“Peeking Through” / Theme: Peek-a-boo
I took this photo this week. See all that snow? That’s Lake Ontario. And yes, it was cold. Sunny, but cold!
I took all sorts of photos, but I like this one that’s peeking at the lighthouse through the bare branches of this tree. Not your standard shot. But I think that’s why I like it.

“Coated in Ice” / Theme: Rainy Day
This is what happens on a rainy day in February… The temperature drops and the rain turns to ice. It’s certainly pretty! However, I’m glad I don’t have to be out on the roads in this weather. Just walking to take this photo was a slippery adventure.

“Icy Yellow” / Theme: Abstract
This is a follow-up in my flowers in ice experiment, but I felt this one had a more abstract feel. The bubbles and crackles in the ice. The glowing and various shades of yellow of the flower.

“Tea for Two” / Theme: Reflection
Place a tea cup in front of a mirror and voila! Tea for one instant becomes Tea for two! Taking photos of tea is always great because you get to drink… tea! And eat the scones. And guess what? Violets are the February flower, so I think I just might get double points for this one! 🙂

“Frozen in Ice” / Theme: Close Up
Lily-of-the-valley… frozen in ice. After having seen some wonderful photos (I forget where now) of flowers frozen in ice, I decided to try something like it. I am quite pleased with the result. I almost feel as if the flowers have been trapped in amber.

“Winter Wonderland”
A little about this photo…
Taken at Niagara Falls… It’s not often that the Falls looks quite this spectacular. I mean, it always look spectacular, but not quite this winter-y. And one of the reasons for this is that it’s been below freezing since our beautiful White Christmas. All that mist freezes, creating some beautiful works of art.
For those of you who don’t know Niagara Falls, this is the American Falls, taken from the Canadian side. All that white “land” below the falls is, of course, the Niagara River… turned into ice. It’s what is called the “Ice Bridge”. Back in the day, people used to walk around down there. But we don’t do that anymore.
