Icy fantasy Yes! This photo is right-side up. And this wasn't the only feature in the ice on two roof-line to ground ornamental chains that had sharp features that pointed upward when you think they should point downwards. My speculation is that they're remnants of ice that once clasped the chain and are now separated from it as the result of repeated thawing and freezing. DP077-2013.

Ice behind the breakwater, with height measured against a certain feature in the retaining wall. January 4, 2012 Crooked Lake
The security chain for the Scorpion when it is at the dock. It's semi-permanently attached to the iron loop that's anchored in the concrete. January 4, 2012 Crooked Lake
Tough tuft of grass. Break in the breakwater, Crooked Lake January 4, 2012
Ice along the river bank. Though filled with bubbles, it was much more translucent that such ice often is. Don't know what caused it to form in this jumbled contorted way. I love the blue patches of reflected sky. Huron River at Gallup Park, Ann Arbor, Michigan January 9, 2013
Icy upheaval. Ice bound rocks. Crooked Lake, Washtenaw County, Michigan January 16, 2013
Ice blue. Color courtesy of morning shadows. There's a hidden history to the 'rocky' contours of the ice at the margins of lake. But I'm not skilled enough to decode it. I just enjoy such ephemera for their delicate beauty. Crooked Lake, Washtenaw County, Michigan January 16, 2013
The white cottony fuzz that surrounds needles on new growth on the saguaros is easily seen even from farily great distances. . Saguaro National Park, East. Tucson, Arizona December 20, 2012 (mid- to late morning)
Saguaro detail. Virtually every mature saguaro bears 'scars' of some environmental insults or attacks. They're kind of the cactus equivalent of wrinkles, I guess. . Ponce de Leon Drive, Catalina foothills, Tucson, Arizona December 20, 2012 (morning)
