Although the back paths, followed mostly by animals, yielded no animals, I did come across very shallow areas that were water when it was warmer. They were beautiful, but crunchy. I’m sure to any animals in the area it was like a thunder clap.
Icy beauty

This, that and the other thing 
Ooooh, I like these, Janet!
Thanks, Sue. It made me very happy to spot this ice.
😊😊
Looks so cold!
Cold enough to freeze obviously, but not so cold that it was uncomfortable being out. Of course, I was dressed for it. 🙂
That’s great
I love looking at ice on puddles, though glad not to have any about in Shropshire at the moment. It’s like looking into another universe.
Then I’m glad I could share these with you without you even getting cold. 🙂
So v. kind of you 🙂

Brrrr
It was actually a pretty nice day, Jim, not warm enough to cause everything to melt, but it was wet and muddy in lots of places.

I love the patterns of ice or frost on the ground, especially where it covers last year’s dead leaves. Beautiful.
Ice is way more intricate and beautiful than snow. I love photographs of it because no two are the same. Having said that, I don’t, however, enjoy walking or driving on it. 🙂
Love these Janet. Not something I ever really see here.
I don’t imagine I’ll be seeing much after the next few months, so I’m enjoying it now. 🙂
I hope preparations for the move are going well.
I think I’m doing pretty well. The hardest part is going through all the books I’ve accumulated over the years (and would like to have out of boxes and on many shelves) and trying to get rid of many of them. Admittedly I have more than I need, but it’s so hard to let go of them. 🙂
I find books the most difficult thing to part with (and I keep buying more) 😬
I’ve gotten so I don’t buy any physical books. But I sometimes get Kindle books that are almost free, through several different groups.
My current passion is old cookery books from charity shops and second-hand book dealers. 😬
Frozen (2) 😦 😦
🙂
Very wonderful 🙂
Thanks, Hammad.
