A couple of weeks ago I was birding with the group on a cold and icy morning. It was so icy I put on my spikes.
Part of the path we were on passes by an industrial complex and I found myself being distracted by the patterns in the ice in a parking lot.

I see a turtle with perhaps a Fibonacci circle on its shell.

I love all the circles like bubbles, and the swirl.
I’m birding with a friend this morning so I’ll be late getting to your blogs, and comments.
Happy Wednesday!
more to come…
I’d be distracted too. I love ice formations and you caught some nice ones!

I love seeing patterns in ice. These are great photos. In the last photo, the circle at the bottom looks like a bird is standing on it.
I hope birding went well today.

Brr! Stay warm! The only ice I’ve seen here is on the birdbath yesterday morning.

Happy abstractions. I saw a turtle before I read your text. Austin got wintry precipitation so I went out not birding but icicling.

I saw the turtle instantly too! Incredible!! Happy birding today, Deborah!

I saw your turtle immediately; the second photo just is what it is, but it’s very attractive. My birds’ frozen water bowls didn’t present such fun patterns.

A turtle! Yes! With, it seems, ancient messages witten on it. Well spotted! And a wonderful picture on top of it.
