The closer you look, the more fascinating it gets...


      Another dormancy has arrived...a few hours of precious daylight, sometimes even the sun.  Knowing the landscape, I've learned these early winter days leave fascinating advances and retreats of water vs. ice, and that the frozen fluid shapes reveal a lot about every moment each frozen layer encountered, much like we're learning about our world through tree rings.
Then I sat down, and looked at one bubble frozen temporarily in time, and saw the complex web of tubules and fractures, curves and micro-infrastructure was involved even in the 3 inch bubble, frozen.
Of course I had to do a lot of manipulating the original to reveal this complexity, but that we can illustrate using what we see, although enhanced, is itself a miracle.
