We had a long period with little snowfall, plus some above-freezing days. As a result, it was easy to see late-falling leaves trapped in the ice on local lakes. The repeated melting/freezing made some interesting textures in the ice.

Great find and capture, Wayne. Love the textures in the ice. I encourage everyone to view the larger image to see the amazing patterns. I like the subtle colors as well.
