Despite the cold, I like the winter for its creation of beautiful Ice sculptures. Happy weekend ;-))
We just had a streak of almost two weeks with extremely cold weather and that can tend to cause strange things to happen on the shore.
I love loons. I don't see them often enough. I was headed to Seward and stopped at Summit Lake to see if there was anything photogenic there. Indeed, there were a pair of common loons swimming between the numerous floes of ice still on the lake. Of course the common loon presents issues with it's white and very dark feathers in getting a great exposure, always a challenge!

This ice jam went 20 feet on to the beach - there was that much strength pushing it ashore. In 3 days it got warmer, the winds changed and it was gone!
First came the sleet and ice! Pretty... but too much of it and the tree branches were breaking, along with making travel dangerous!
Thank you for your visit! :)
It's going to be an interesting week here at Keefer Lake. It will be well above zero during the day and then plummeting below zero again at night. These are ideal conditions for ice fog, both in the morning and potentially in the evening as well ... this photo was taken last year under similar conditions. For my friends who don't know 'ice fog' ... it is a wondrous phenomena and you should put 'experiencing' it on your 'bucket list.'
Other photos from the same morning are in the first comment box.

Patterns in ice on the surface of a small flatland creek. I believe these artistic lines were created by snow faeries and elves, because I can't think of any rationale scientific explanation for the genesis of lovely patterns like this.

On May 12 it's ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day. May 12 was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the M.E.-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life.
Many of my our friends here at Flickr suffer with this and other chronic afflictions . For the fifth year in a row the Smile on Saturday challenge has been "BLUE FOR YOU - ME 2023". The challenge is sending positive vibes to not only the people here at Flickr who suffer from that disease, but anyone who is in pain, physically or mentally. Please know we are thinking of you!
Happy Saturday!
. . . Ice creatures come crawling out of Lake Michigan towards the Point Betsie light house! The entire face of the hill here is solid ice from the waves and wind blowing in from the west!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

Let me share some more pictures from the Ice and Snow Festival last Month in Longqing Gorge, about 2 hours north of Beijing, China.
Katla is an Icelandic volcano covered by the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in the south of the country. It lies to the east of Eyjafjöll, another volcano considered to be related to Katla. It is one of Iceland's most active and destructive volcanoes, responsible for several jökulhlaups (glacial lake outburst flood).
