Yesterday while D and I were on our early-morning bike ride, the temp was below freezing enough to put a thin layer of ice on the bike trail puddles.
Not a thing of beauty, a shallow mud puddle; I would much rather come across a nice backyard garden pool for ice photos.
Mud below, and no macro lens meant I shouldn't have even bothered.
However, it was fascinating that such varied patterns could occur on barely one-inch-deep water.
This one does indeed look like finger painting:
Fascinating how little pebbles could cause a rift in the freezing process:
This one looks like it was tossed in at the very second of the freezing point, creating a "splash" of ice:
And waves, in thin ice?
Why straight lines here instead of curved like all the others?

I seriously don't know HOW you do it! You see magic even in frozen mud puddles, and then get that magic to translate through the lens to the finished product. These really do look like fingerpainting (and that is another one of your magic gifts - writing and titling). Bravo!
Ah, grasshopper, I see that you have discovered the magic hidden in those mundane frozen puddles. Isn't is marvelous what Nature can do? Really like these images!
