When the below freezing temperatures hit a week ago, I realized I hadn't yet bought a feeder heater for the hummingbirds. Time to improvise! I put a string of red Christmas lights (not LED) in a aluminum baking pan, placed a clear glass plate on that, and rested the feeder on the plate. These were placed on a little table next to my sliding glass door. Would the birds use it? They don't mind it! They come in to feed in the morning darkness, when it's around 20 degrees, and the nectar is still liquid. I would say my clumsy DIY is a success. Anna's Hummingbird.
My wife sculpted this likeness of the Batman villain Mr. Freeze. It is based on the character design of Mike Mignola for the 1992 TV show Batman: The Animated Series.
The victim of a laboratory accident, the scientist Victor Fries can only survive in freezing temperatures. He is a tragic character who turned to a life of crime only to fund the research necessary to save his terminally ill wife who he desperately loved.
The episode of Batman: The Animated Series that introduced Mr. Freeze went on to win an Emmy award. It was entitled "Heart of Ice."

Since my dog has his own Instagram account, I haven't been posting him lately on my feed. This boy is now 10 1/2 months old and is just a ball of energy. The snails are ready for winter and have practically disappeared from my yard. We're expecting freezing temperatures tonight which now forces me to move on from snails until next year. I still had more ideas but I'll put it to bed for a bit.
The end of a late lunset hike to a nearby viewpoint. After standing for 30 minutes und heavy rain and hail storms the horizon finally cleared up a bit. A little later the sun even poken underneath the cloud cover - again during heavy rain.
Totally soaked an cold (just above freezing temperatures) we packed our gear and headed to the cave to unpack our sleeping bags and stove and have some pasta.
During most of the night no clouds could be seen but at sunrise it looked similar light this view.
Shortly after sunrise in freezing temperatures, 8030, 1102, CM3303, CM3311 and CF4403 speed through Illalong Creek with late running 5MS7 empty cement to Berrima.

Union Pacific passenger special speeds through Crescent Village on its way to Grand Junction October, 10th with The Spirit Locomotive #1943 on the point. The weather was spectacular in every way. The front range was experiencing heavy drizzle and rain and near freezing temperatures acting in an upslope condition through Eldorado Canyon upon arriving at 7-8 thousand feet turned to ice on everything. A light dusting of snow, green pines, and freezing fog banks made for a spectacular setting to show off Union Pacific’s silver and green Veterans Heritage locomotive.
My first shot of 2015 is this view of Manhattan from Jersey City's Exchange Place before the blue hour. Conditions were pretty miserable: freezing temperatures, high winds, and a million boats passing through the Hudson River. But at least I got to meet up with fellow talented shooter Angel Alvarado later that evening.
A Wood Frog sits atop a beautiful Mandevilla bloom for a portrait. A fairly common tree frog of the northern reaches of North America, its habitat stretches from Alaska across Canada and south to Georgia. Most interesting is its ability to withstand freezing temperatures. Genetic biochemical modifications of its metabolism allow much of this animal’s body to freeze during colder winter months. Upon thawing they resume normal activity, and they are some of the earliest animals to emerge in spring. It’s a chilling tale and a fascinating concept that is the subject of extensive study. For those of you who are interested, the photographic process used to make this portrait is called light painting. #WoodFrog
During the 2015 Adventure. At the top of my list was to photograph the sunburst at Mesa Arch in Utah. It was well worth the early wake up, the hour drive in the dark(thank you Sean) and the hike from the parking area in the dark and freezing temperatures. To witness this. I don't think that any photograph or video does this sight justice. If you ever get the chance you have to see it with your own eyes. Image made with a Pentax K5
Not so much after last night's sub-freezing temperatures, at least not so enthusiastically, but there they are.

Freezing temperature, gale-force wind, and poor visibility made today's trip to Tongariro especially unpleasant, but I think it paid off. Couldn't see a thing when I first arrived, but glad the low cloud cleared away temporarily during the crucial minutes.
Yes finally ;) I miss spring soo much. I've been so sick this past two months fighting with cold, flu and other nice stuff like those ;)
I did this session with fever, they were up for standing in that freezing temperature. We had so much fun!
Enjoy more on my blog in just a minute.
If you have a moment of free time check out my new webiste mpotoczek.com/index2.php and let me know how is it :)
At the end of the rainbow, there is a pot of gold, but what lies at the end of the Milky Way arch?
The eye, where Mother Earth is gazing the stars!
Some people call this structure the “Escalante Volcano”, which it obviously isn’t. Others call it the “Cosmic Ashtray”, which is a horrible name for such a beautiful structure – at least for a no smoker.
I cannot say how it formed, but I am one of probably a very few who ever spent a whole night up there and for me it will always be the "Eye of Earth".
I cannot say though that it was a very pleasant night. It seemed that Mother Earth did not want me to discover the secret of her eye…
After hiking Coyote Gulch and a few other places in the morning and early afternoon, I set out to this remote place in late afternoon. I was planning to arrive well before sunset, but my 100 lbs. backpack and some deep sand along my trail slowed me down considerably. When I arrived at the foot of the sandstone mesa, on top of which the eye is located, I already was severely exhausted!
But the worst was still to come: I clambered up a steep cliff, only to discover halfway up that I was climbing the wrong peak. I was able to make my way along the contour of the mesa, but I was panting like crazy, unable to make more than 5 steps with the heavy load on my back, before I had to take a break and wait a few minutes for my heart to spool down. It took me well over an hour to climb up to the eye and I finally arrived just after sunset, completely destroyed, feeling sick and with severe cramps in both legs.
I therefore did not have enough strength or time to scout the place as I normally would, but, despite my fear of heights, I found a spot where I was able to set up my camera. At least the weather seemed to be fine and I was anticipating a rewarding night that made up for my ordeal.
Unfortunately, an extremely strong and chilly wind started blowing soon after nightfall. Nevertheless, I clung to the cliff and bravely operated my camera until 2 a.m., when I collapsed on the spot and, seeking shelter behind my backpack, slept for the rest of the night despite still cramping legs and freezing temperatures…
Thanks for all your faves and comments.

Now in full bloom, this Hellebore is already attracting insects. There's still no sign of my wild cherry blossom, which in previous years has usually been out by Valentine's Day, and delayed this year because of freezing temperatures last week.
These Ice pinnacles start as a solid glacier or snow field.
At this location the slowly moving ice compound eats a part of the international road between Argentina and Chile every winter. Therefore a caterpillar has to cut through the glacier every spring to free this short stretch of road from its solid winter ice cover.
The lower ice pack cut off from the glacier is usually between 1.5 and 3 meters (5 to 10 ft) thick. At this altitude - more than 4000 meters high - and below freezing temperatures the sun starts to sublimate (not melt) the ice during the day. Some spots loose a bit more ice and start to form shallow pits. The bottom of the hollow receives more radiation than the walls each day leaving the walls mostly intact but making the dells grow deeper and deeper until they reach the plain earth at the bottom. Several pits may merge until some free standing blades remain oriented towards the general direction of the sun.
At this place the penitentes are about man's size, but can reach up to 6 meters (18ft) when grown out of larger ice or snow fields.
The first one to describe the penitentes was Charles Darwin when making an excursion into the Andes on his historic journey where he developed the idea of the evolution of species. He must be in good humour when naming the ice blades penitentes (those who perform the Catholic Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation/Confession).
2014 update: We revisitied this place only to see the glacier all but vanished.
After a long wait in the freezing temperatures we had the first snow for this season. The forzen canal makes it possible for the snow to just stay on the top which I felt would love nice in the vintage tone. So I compose the shot with the title "Back in oldtimes as it snows"
On my walk I came across the first of the budding blossoms of Snowdrops. A sure sign that Spring will be on the way, although we usually get some freezing temperatures in February with possibly some snow.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to ALL and enjoy the day!
This is from 8 days ago (before the snow and the sub-freezing temperatures).
It was taken on a cold and misty morning, when the sun started burning through the fog amidst the bare trees of Settlers Cabin Park.
No post-processing was used, this is just the way it appeared to the naked eye.
This female Northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is perched on a copper sprinkler with a bit of nest making material. It looks like we'll have one more wave of freezing temperatures before the Equinox next week. The avian yard activity has been very strong of late but no migratory song birds as yet.
Union Pacific 8657 leads the North Platte to Fresno manifest through the Feather River Canyon near Rich Bar. In 1850, Rich Bar became the site of one of the largest gold discoveries within the Feather River drainage. During the height of the gold rush, nearly 1,000 miners inhabited Rich Bar. Historical documents detail the difficulties miners faced living in these rugged mountains, including freezing temperatures, food scarcity and treacherous rocky outcrops.
By the time the railroad arrived, Rich Bar had become a ghost town. Today, only several small properties remain, many of which were affected by the 2021 Dixie Fire.

Despite a recent run of above-freezing temperatures, a thin coating of ice still covered most of Tobico Lagoon in Michigan’s Bay City State Recreation Area late last week. But this swan and its mate appeared to have broken their own channels through the ice for swimming and underwater feeding.
For Our Daily Challenge: This Is So Me… At least lately, it is, as I’ve been posting lots of shots of birds and other wildlife ever since I got my new Tamron 150-600mm lens in mid-January.
Flickr friends, I'll be offline for a good part of the day on Monday, but will catch up on comments in the evening.
In the centre of Queen's Park is a huge equestian statue of Edward VII. The statue is much larger than life size. It dominates the centre of the park. The interesting thing is, and I have walked by this statue many a time but did not read the plaque and so I didnt know until a few days ago, that this statue was actually in Edward Park in Delhi India. It was "gifted' by the Indian Government in 1969 to Canada via the Canadian High Commisioner to India. Of course this statue takes us away to a time when the King was Emperor of India...and the British Raj was still in play. I cant help think that the old man sitting abreast his stallion had to endure the incredible heat of Delhi only to be sent to face the dreadful freezing temperatures of Toronto !!!!! What must a King do these days to get a little respect :) Have a great week guys.
A favorite spot on the river for fishing, especially fly fishing, with ice forming and freezing temperatures.
Photographed in Iceland's Blue Lagoon
November 11, 2009
We spent two nights at the Blue Lagoon and most of our time there soaking in the warm geothermal seawater. For our trip to Iceland, we packed a bunch of winter gear and bathing suits. It was hard to fathom going out in near-freezing temperatures in just bathing suits, but amazingly, it wasn't so bad and you didn't even notice the cold once you were in the water.
And yes, I went in the lagoon with my D700 to get this shot!
Shame on me, I haven't done enough research on Eastern Sierra until recently. Finally made a plan to visit the Sierra Nevada during Thanksgiving weekend starting my trip with Convict Lake.
I drove overnight from Las Vegas and reached the parking lot almost an hour before Sunrise thinking that I will be only one going to be there for Sunrise. To my surprise, there came a group of 5-6 photographers rushing to get the best spot. It was no fun waiting there with below freezing temperatures for almost 30 minutes. But it was all worth it, after looking at the final result.
Convict Lake is definitely one of the best lakes I have seen with an interesting mountain backdrop. I have tried to photograph Alpine Glow in the past at Maroon Bells, but weather gods spoiled that attempt. It was a wonderful experience watching the Mount Laurel glow in Orange-Yellow for a couple of minutes. It was bit windy, otherwise, I could have got that perfect reflection everybody wishes for.
Each female lays an average of 150 eggs inside a sticky mass that dries into an insulated case that protects her eggs from freezing temperatures.
Her eggs hatch in late spring with the nymphs coming out using a weblike thread blowing in the slightest breeze to dry.
Their siblings are their first meals!

The Iowa landscape was full of wonderful winter scenes today do to the fog and freezing temperatures.
Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park, Montana
There had been high winds for several days on the lake. Coupled with freezing temperatures, the entire shoreline was coated in a thick layer of ice. I had to take advantage of a break in the clouds before another system moved in.

Several days of freezing temperatures and freezing rain have taken their toll on the Oklahoma region. Many folks are still without power even though the ice started to melt on Wednesday. It was just today that we finally got ours back, but neighbors across the street are still without!
Despite freezing temperatures on the morning of the winter solstice, the bird appears to be getting some warmth from the weak sun.
A mid afternoon visit to Burnhope Reservoir in the heart of Weardale in the North Pennines AONB after recent snow and freezing temperatures. The freezing temperatures meant part of the reservoir had frozen and some of the ice had a light dusting of windswept snow which provided some foreground interest. The sun was lighting up the dusting of snow on the surrounding hills to provide the backdrop to the scene.
The cold front is coming to Vancouver and we have below freezing temperature over the rest of the week.
Even the moon and star become frosty.
Have the happy first day of 2015 and a great year of 2015!!

Lake Superior sunrise at Cottrell Cove at -15°C - -about 80km north of Sault Ste. Marie.
Fast ice is an extensive unbroken sheet of ice that is “fastened” to the shoreline or shoals; the ice forms from freezing temperatures (air and water), waves, drift ice, and snowfall. The fast ice at Cottrell Cove varies from one to two meters thick.
high winds, blowing snow and freezing temperatures.... and me snuggled-up to the computer viewing images of warm summer days gone-by......
have been intrigued by reflections such as this, where there is more detail in the reflection, than in the directly viewed object......
from a long-past excursion to Grand Bend.....
A winter storm is an event in which wind coincides with varieties of precipitation that only occur at freezing temperatures, such as snow, mixed snow and rain, or freezing rain. In temperate continental climates, these storms are not necessarily restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late autumn and early spring as well. A snowstorm with strong winds and other conditions meeting certain criteria is called a blizzard.
Winter storms are formed when moist air rises up into the atmosphere, creating low pressure near the ground and clouds up in the air. The air can also be pushed upwards by hills or large mountains. The upward motion is called lift. The moisture is collected by the wind from large bodies of water, such as a big lake or the ocean. If temperature is below freezing, 0 °C (32 °F), near the ground and up in the clouds, precipitation will fall as snow, ice, rain and snow mixed (sleet), ice pellets or even graupel (soft hail). Since cold air can not hold as much moisture as warm air, the total precipitation will be less than at higher temperature.
What happens when you place a soap bubble on top of an ornate cluster of quartz in freezing temperatures? It feels like the permanent quartz gives way to a much more transient crystal inside the bubble, resembling snowflakes rising from the stone. View large!
This was an experiment, as I have had many this winter. I wanted to see if I could combine what we normally associate with crystal (gems and precious minerals) with what falls from the sky, also a crystal – snowflakes. As a proxy to the snowflakes I’m using a freezing bubble to create snowflake-like crystals rising up in a sphere of ice. To put it lightly, this was a difficult image to take!
First, the quartz needed to be left outside for a few hours to acclimate to the cold temperatures and function as a catalyst for crystal formation in the bubble. Second, I needed to blow a number of test bubbles in the same region to adjust lighting, angles, and general composition. Third, while the bubble is actively freezing I need to move in with the camera and take the shot at the exact focus point required, handheld of course!
Many smaller crystals are all forming near the bottom of the bubble, because that’s where things are the coldest. If the quarts was too warm, the bubble might freeze from the top down or not at all before bursting. I try to acclimate my “ingredients” to be all the ambient temperature, but it’s hard to say exactly how much time an object requires. One can assume that a branch from my Christmas tree needs less time that a mineral sample, but the exact values elude me. I probably give more time than required! I purchased this piece of quartz specifically for this experiment, by the way!
The first bubble I blew surprisingly survived on the pointy crystals, and allowed me to do most of my camera and lighting adjustments. There are two lights – one for the bubble illumination and one for the quartz illumination. The light used to make the bubble glow is a NiteCore TM36, which has a slightly diminished brightness in the center due to its singular parabolic reflector. This shifts the colour slightly as well, giving the blue tones towards the top of the bubble. The quartz specimen is lit with a Nitecore TM26 with four LEDs and a more diffuse pattern, aimed as exclusively as possible to the crystal below.
I shoot most of my macro work handheld, and this is no exception. It’s impossible to predict exactly the size of the bubble and precisely where it will land, so a handheld approach make sense to work quickly. I used my Trioplan 100 lens for this shot, which isn’t ideal but my Canon 24-105L is having some softness issues at the moment. Typically I use the 24-105 with extension tubes for 1:1 (or slightly less) macro work, but the Trioplan came to the rescue. Trioplan lenses are known for their “soap bubble bokeh”, but you would see any of that here when the lens is stopped down to F/22. Careful alignment and focusing by physically moving forwarded and back with the camera while continuously shooting allows for me to get the best focus somewhere in the mix of dozens of shots as the bubble freezes. This was the best of them!
Many of these tiny crystals resembles snowflakes, and if you’d like to dive into the details of snowflake science and photography, check out my book on the topic: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - worth a read for anyone interested in winter macro photography!
There are about 80 different species of mangrove trees. All of these trees grow in areas with low-oxygen soil, where slow-moving waters allow fine sediments to accumulate. Mangrove forests only grow at tropical and subtropical latitudes near the equator because they cannot withstand freezing temperatures.
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees appear to be standing on stilts above the water. This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the daily rise and fall of tides, which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day. The roots also slow the movement of tidal waters, causing sediments to settle out of the water and build up the muddy bottom.
Mangrove forests stabilize the coastline, reducing erosion from storm surges, currents, waves, and tides. The intricate root system of mangroves also makes these forests attractive to fishes and other organisms seeking food and shelter from predators.

Tree Fern seen in all its health after surviving two days of freezing temperatures. Not all fared as well, but this group did. Here in New Orleans it rarely goes to 0'C or below. Many of the tropical plants now have the look of pressed and dried flowers. I really hope that they all can come back.
Tiny bloom in our very small lilac bush blooming after several nights of freezing temperatures. Was happy to find the buds had survived and were starting to bloom dispite the freezing temps. Thunderstorms tonight with a dusting of snow a slight possibility.
Not much else to photo at our house right now so our slowly opening small lilac has become a subject than our redbud until our iris bloom later. :) Very breezy so hard to get focus.

With overnight temperatures dipping into the minus 20's C, the wide channels of the Yukon River are frozen over now, leaving only the deeper, fast moving water in narrow sections. The remaining open water steams in the freezing temperatures, creating mist and clouds.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography.
Check out these Icelandic timelapse videos :
► NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER JÖKULSÁRLÓN - THE GLACIER LAGOON, ICELAND
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS - AURORA BOREALIS OVER WESTERN ICELAND
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.
