I'm more than happy to go 0 fer the week. This is fun. Looks like a close up of ice, possibly an icicle but the brown suggests mud and most icicles aren't muddy.

Told you it was easy. Good job, Mark. It's a muddy icicle.

It does make an interesting abstract. I found myself looking at it for quite a while.

Nancy, based on your post in Macro it seems that you can get back to this beast for another shot. I'd suggest going completely abstract by including only the icicle in the frame. Those "bursts" of air bubbles are really interesting and the browns add warmth.
