Mother Nature - the ultimate Sculptress C&C welcomed

[KimC]

Wanted to do a little shooting today so headed into the woods to see what I might find on this bitter cold day.

I came across this and thought to myself... Mother Nature is the ultimate sculptress; tomorrow this will be transformed into something else. The beautiful wonders that exist all around us.

Beautiful, really!!!... did you shoot this looking vertically down? first i thought it is a combination of mushroom and ice....

[KimC]

Thank you. No, I got down on the ground to shoot it. It was on a bank slightly above me. My husband thinks it looks like a sea creature.

It's ice in a river.

A really fascinating example of nature's sculpturing talents, and a credit to your seeing its photographic potential. Well done, indeed.

Thank you for appreciating the intent Tom. :-)
