Description Yesterday I went back to my favorite icicle grotto but the winter isn't far enough along in its cycles of freezing and thawing for the water [and icicles] to seep through the sandstone bluff and produce these open ice caves.

Dedicated to my wife *ariseandrejoice , who still stands by me... no matter what type of subject matter strikes my fancy.

Neither steel nor chrome... just icicles reflecting their environment!!!

Half the fun of taking the shot was realizing that it could be a photo of nearly anything... I love natural ice structures and hope to have many opportunities to capture some interesting ones this winter!!!

Nice shot Richard. I'd never guessed it was an icicle if you hadn't said.

I also noticed that you ignored my suggestion about a black frame - and I suppose you are right (this time anyway)... it looks just great the way it is!
