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.

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.
