I should be an expert at ice photography after this winter, right? I’m tired of it, but it was either an ice photo or a cat photo today. That’s all there is around here.
Hand held, manual focus, AV mode. Used Photoshop to select the upper left corner and reduce the brightness/increase contrast, since it was very blown out.

I really like this one of leaves surfacing – beautiful! I have a stack of ice photos left too – I’m not sure whether to post one, or save it for another time. The birds sang this morning but now it is snowing again!
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment.
Ugh–you have more snow? The sun came out here, finally, and melted a good bit of the ice. I’m ready for a warm-up!
