Lake Superior Ice Ornaments

















Yesterday while walking the shoreline to photograph the first sunrise of the new year, I found countless fascinating ice formations hanging from the rocks at the water's edge.  These particular formations were my favorite.  The first thing I thought of when seeing them was "they look like Christmas ornaments!"  The sun was just starting to hit the rock on the upper right.  The "ornaments" were still in the shade had this beautiful blue color.  As the water lapped at the ornaments, they would momentarily lose the blue color.  When the water receded, they once again turned blue.  You never know just what you're going to find when you're out exploring in nature :-)
