Reminded me of my childhood, when I lived at the bottom of an unmade (no tarmac) road. Loads of these little thinly iced puddles, and they had a particular sound when cracked! Thanks Nan, and your header pic is beautiful.
I love a frozen puddle. I remember as a kid in Minnesota crunching my way through these on my way to school. I also like the kind where the ice kind of wheezes and squeaks as it bends right before breaking through.
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
It's getting to be that time of year!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes (she sighed happily)

ReplyDeleteOur road is definitely 'unmade' :<)
DeleteI was lucky to get both those shots. The light was gorgeous.
Beautiful. Our birdbath was frozen yesterday as it is this morning no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to talk to you about birdbaths sometime. One day birds used ours. One day and that's it. Maybe because there is a stream nearby?
DeleteAre there trees near the birdbath? I've been told they don't like to visit a birdbath unless they can fly quickly to a tree (or bush).
DeleteEnjoy your cold temps! ;)
There are. It was also tucked into a patch of daylilies so it wasn't out in the open.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful, both the header and the puddle.

Thank you. There's nothing like a cool, crisp sunny morning after a cold night.
DeleteBeautiful photo, Nan. It makes me feel all Christmasy. The lines made me think of sleigh tracks. The header photo is incredible, too.
ReplyDeleteI have another picture of that puddle with Tom's morning tire tracks cracking it. :<)
DeleteCan I confess I want to jump on that puddle to hear the satisfying crackling sounds :0)
ReplyDeleteYou may, and I almost did!
DeleteThere's a whole world in that puddle Nan!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a lovely thing to say!!
DeleteWe haven't had that kind of frost here yet. It's so pretty to look at but it also makes a fun sound when you step on it ;)
ReplyDeletebrrrrrr

DeleteLOVE this photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You must have a few yourself.

ReplyDeleteThere's poetry in your words.
