River Ice

The fluctuating temperature and tides create some very interesting textures and ice formations on the river. I noticed these yesterday while crossing one of the bridges over the Cocheco.

Cold morning

The last day of November started off at four degrees at our house. By the time I got outside for some frost photos it had warmed up to ten, which felt rather comfortable!

Wagon Hill Winter

Last week, my friend Randall and I took a hike around Wagon Hill Farm in Durham to see if we could find some interesting scenes to photograph. We did see at least twenty-three swans, but most of them were floating too far from shore to photograph. We got fairly close to the two I have photos of. I enjoyed photographing the details of ice and snow textures, grasses and rock, seaweed and water, and sparkly reflections of sunshine.

Snowshoeing on the Barrington Trail

Sunday we took a little snowshoe hike on the Barrington Trail, along the Isinglass River. There are some of the scenes we encountered.

November 20 Frost

This morning was quite spectacular if you enjoy seeing frost on things other than your windshield. Everything in the yard was covered with white sugary-looking crystals.

Panes in the Ice

While having soup at the Loaf & Ladle in Exeter today, we admired the ice coating the inside of the windows. It is nice to be able to make some ice photos without going outside in the bitter cold.
