Hi, kids!
Happy 60th anniversary to my parents on
the 25th!
And now, the
report...
Sparkle and shine.
Froze up ROUGH!
The river doesn't always freeze up this
rough. I was reminiscing, thinking of Slatts Lowe moving houses across the
river ice in winter, "back in the day". He'd have been very unhappy to see ice
like this.
Frosted flakes.
Shoreline skier.
Ice jam. Still a bit of open water but
we could see that the ice jam was growing by the minute.
At our place, a skating rink! (Smooth
but thin....)
And some open
water...
Ice on the move.
Beautiful blue and oh so
cold.
The sound created by ice crunching and
grinding as it jockeyed for position, was phenomenal!
Rising waters froze smoothly, along the
shore.
Mirrored river.
Shoreline view. Just a thin trail of
open water was visible. And the ice kept coming, pushing and shifting, closing
the open water.
COLD.
Upriver, a skating rink of thin
ice.
Where ice meets shore.
Willow color.
Flaked foliage.
Branch bliss.
Frost flake fan. I LOVE this one...the
huge, paperish flakes are fascinating. I want to see them even
CLOSER.
Carpet of glitter.
Frost flake
explosion.
Moody sky.
Fabulous flakes.
Monochromatic
world.
FAT frost
flakes.
Congress of blackbirds.
Twisting in the wind.
Fascinated by the
flakes.
Riverside panorama.
Big Sky night.
Montana in the morning. (Glendive
bound)
BIG sky country.
Wide angle sky.
Standing stately.
GOOD winter roads.
Gran-daddy! (Bell Street Bridge,
Glendive, Montana)
This bridge is open to the public for
walking/running and is well used, even in winter.
Bell Street Vista.
Froze up rough, II. (Yellowstone
River)
