Thanks.:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Thank you, my dear seaker!

It was a beautiful evening, but quite chilly for these parts!

Glad you enjoyed...

:hi:

2. OH MY GOD

These are even better than the one you posted in the Photo Forum.

The second one is too beautiful for words.
Really.

(so I am shutting up now)

except to say
"thank you"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. You really think so?

I like the one in the Photo Forum better...

Anyway, I'm thrilled that you took the time to see these too!

And I thank you, my dear Mira...

5. Can't compete with your eye for beauty

I'll post my ice medusa some other time.

Beautiful!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Xipe Totec!

Oh, now, that's just nonsense and you know it!

I'd love to see your ice medusa...

I'm so glad you're enjoying my offering!

Thank you, sweetie...

:hug:

7. When a river freezes over and then the water level drops,

sometimes, a piece of ice clings to a branch and creates a ledge of ice on which icicles can form.

as the water level of the river falls, more icicles form from the ledge creating a formation that looks like a lamp shade, or a medusa...

8. Oh, WOW!

That's just stunning!

And it greatly deserves its own thread...

Thank you so much for sharing that ...

I am stunned at its beauty.

We just don't have stuff like that here at sea level. It's never cold enough...

9. Updated post with a second view

I'm glad you liked it.

My wife likes it because it is a little piece of beauty among a great deal of ugliness.

The Neponset river is not a great example of environmental awareness. But sometimes, this old tired tributary to Boston Harbor has a few sparkles of beauty.

10. I'm visiting to see CaPeggy's storm shots, and seeing yours I want to

invite you to the Photo forum, where we have a few openings left for the Winter contest.

11. Gorgeous pics, Peggy!

Those wave pictures are fantastic. Wish I was there!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you, my dear snailly!

Glad you enjoyed them...

It was pretty chilly for my bare hands, though...

:hi:

13. Me too! n/t

14. These are beautiful!!! Ah, those waves remind me of Albert Bierstadt paintings!

Our local museum has many of his grand landscapes, including one of a wave, realistic, like green glass with light coming through.

He painted several "waves", the first is in our museum.

15. My dear NYC_SKP!

Oh, those paintings are wonderful! I only wish I could have seen waves that size today...

But thank you for comparing my work to those so favorably...I'm not at all sure I deserve that!

Glad you had time to come by, sweetie...
