the essence of ice
Done for Macro Mondays "It's Alive!!"
“ice contains no future , just the past, sealed away. As if they're alive, everything in the world is sealed up inside, clear and distinct. Ice can preserve all kinds of things that way- cleanly, clearly. That's the essence of ice, the role it plays.”
― Haruki Murakami
we have been living in a frozen wonderland the last few days, first lots of wind and snow , then freezing rain; the world entombed in thick ice, also very dark, no real light to photograph, but i walked around the garden until my fingers were so numb with cold i could not press the shutter.
i noticed the rhododendron's leaves were totally encased in ice, tried to break one off to bring it inside to photograph, but it broke in my hand, leaving me with this piece of the ice shell, a perfect imprint of the leaf, see the veins at the bottom right? best in the lightbox, amazing how nature builds abstracts :D there are all kinds of things to be seen in this small piece of ice.
stay warm, happy sliderssunday and HMM!
