Fresh Clear Ice with a dusting of Graupel
Was going to go for a quick walk at Great Bear Recreation Area and ended up putting on 13,295 steps. Took my old 60D with the ef-s 18-200 lens and shot jpeg & RAW in B&W. Spring is not here officially but most of the snow is gone. Heard my first Red-wing blackbird, glorious music to my soul.
This pool of water froze enough overnight that the fresh graupel gives the appearance of grainy film.
Graupel is a type of precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets freeze onto falling snowflakes, creating small, soft pellets that resemble hail.
Learned something new today when editing this RAW file. I've been using the Pixelmator Pro extension with Apple Photos which gives limited access. I found a way to edit with Pixelmator from a drop down menu that gives full access. Mind boggling.
Oh, and by the time I made it home, winter had made it's return with snow flurries leaving the landscape white again.
