When you wade through them, they shoot up out of the water like missiles!

	greencottage says: Thanks all. One of the most amazing things about this can't be captured in a photo: the sound they made as I walked through the ice. It was like a mix of crunching a handful of potato chips and the tinkling of glass bobbles on a giant glass chandelier. The splinters would pop out of the surface at some distance away as I walked into the floes. Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

	greencottage says: Thanks Natty H. I wish it happened every year, but it seems to requrie a certain weather pattern during the thaw. Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
