Ice On A Stick

A nice ice formation collecting on a branch as the snow melted down.

Lava

Is it me, or does the frozen water over the waterfall look like it could be melting or dripping candle wax?

Empty

Looking at today's photo, it appears as if I am the only one in the building. I took this one at the end of the Minnesota Wild's Kids Club event. I guess I was lucky that the seats were empty when I snapped this one.

More From Willie's Hidden Harbor

Yesterday I showed you the opening that leads out to the Mississippi River from Willie's Hidden Harbor. Today I'm showing the front portion of the harbor where boats will soon be once the waters and air temps warm to the typical summer time.

I'm Melting

A view of Willie's Hidden Harbor in Saint Paul Park. It's been nearly 70 degrees the last couple of days, I would doubt there would be much of this ice remaining in the harbor, if any at all. At the time of this photo, it was mid March and nearly the first day of spring.

Which Photo Do You Prefer?

It's amazing what a difference it can be taking photos and changing the height of the camera when shooting. The photo I posted on Friday and today were taken exactly in the same spot, one shot has the camera inches off of the ground, while the other has the camera about shoulder high. The difference in perspective is incredible. Which brings me to my question, which photo do you prefer? I like today's photo because of the tree blocking the sun. Though I also like last Friday's photo because of the glare of the sun off of the snow, which is what I was trying to capture in the first place.

How To Speak Minnesotian #1

Today's Minnesotian Word: snice

snice (noun) misting rain falling on snow resulting in a glaze like surface with a surface layer of ice

After rain falls during the winter in Minnesota, you must watch your step, but you get this awesome shine on top of the snow that I attempted to capture as best as I could.

All That Glitters Is Gold

I took this photo back in, I believe it was the end of February, perhaps early March. Took this through one of my windows in my kitchen. I really like how this turned out with the sun shining through the clear ice with the neighborhood as the back drop. The longest icicles were roughly three and a half to four foot long from the overhang of the roof.
