[Actually my favorite new thing is going to be playing catchup on what I missed in your galleries while I was gone. That will take awhile, a very pleasing while.]

I was just about ready to give you a call my friend. Glad to see you back and you brought with you another one of you stunning images. Excellent work with terrific detail and depth. We have plenty of snow and (cold) weather here. Trying to get courage to get out in it to hunt for photo ops. #1343220Jack Ryan January 11, 2011

A beautiful combination of subjects put together in a very nice vertical composition with great detail and earthy nature's colors.Marty Straub January 12, 2011
Thanks everyone. Had to call you, Ron; didn't want to miss the op. You're right, Monnie. It will be ice for a long time, but it will be changing. Also, this spot is right under Rt. 118. You could park and be there in less than a minute. #9158238Randy D. Dinkins January 13, 2011

Cold beauty on a grand scale Marty..love the huge icicles! #9161626frank w. degenhardt January 14, 2011
So good to have you back my friend. Glad that you had a great time and that the new lens is doing a beautiful job for you. When I first saw this, I was thinking that it was in a cave, certainly has that look to it. A beautiful ice sculpture that mother nature has created here and you did some awesome camera work to capture it. Love the colors, the way you framed it, the textures and details bring out the beauty of the ice. You are so right, that it will keep changing and give you alot more beautiful pictures of it with each new look. Looking forward to some amazing pictures from your trip my friend. #9162296Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
