The Dead Season #1

I usually dread this time of year; after the vivid Fall colour has gone and before the fresh snowfalls, everything looks dead or drab.
This year I decided to try and not let my preconceptions get in the way of what I see or want to see.

What interested me here, is that , although I went out to photograph ice formations that had nice patterns containing many bubbles and swirls, I noticed another kind of ice, an ice with no entrained air bubbles at all. Sounds silly, but this seems much more like frozen water and not what I would imagine "ice" to be.

By the end of my walk , I was appreciative of this season, and was hoping the snow would hold off for a few more days, Tim.
