How Many Pictures of Ice Can You Shoot, Anyway?


I was finally able to start taking my walks again because the temperature was 40 degrees and there were only light winds.  But it was an overcast day so the light was not interesting at all.  I brought my camera with me but had no hopes of finding anything.  Boy was I surprised!  The harbor ice is breaking up with the warmer temps an as the tide rises and falls, it makes fractures in the ice and those patterns are amazing.  But I found this so interesting so I am posting it first.  The ice has been fractured in several different ways and the shapes and tones, light and dark are really interesting in an abstract way.  As I was composing this two Mallard ducks came out of the water up on to the ice and started wandering around and they were in the perfect place when I shot this frame!  So the answer to the question posed in the title is: "I can take a lot more photographs than you or I could imagine!"
