The melting and freezing of water can sure create beauty. During the last week, I’ve spent several days at our prairie cutting trees and playing with my kids. The wetland on the property is frozen enough for ice skating, but warm days/cold nights have allowed some thawing and freezing along the edges. That, in turn, has created some wonderful patterns in the ice. Here are a few of them.
