Cold Feet

I think the tracks are made by a coyote or a duck.  Both frequent this pond.  Different trackways tomorrow.

Very 'cool' shot.
Mary MacADNski: Cool if not downright cold and icy.

I'll go with duck...looks more like what would be made by an animal with 2 legs to me, Mary.
I really like the liquid feel of this picture.
Mary MacADNski: That is a pretty good choice as there have been ducks going between this pond and mine every day and now have finally wizened up and flown south. They were hatched in my pond rather late so its taken them a while to mature enough to go.

Nice shot! Is that ice or snow!?
Mary MacADNski: That is ice. Check out tomorrow's shot for a different, maybe better view.

It looks like someone walked in slush that then froze over, Mary. Or should I say waddled! smile
Mary MacADNski: That's it exactly, Ginnie. Can you imagine how cold it must have been to freeze that quickly with the shapes still intact. Ooh, the wonders of nature.

Nice shot Mary, looks cold. very cold.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, Aussie, very, very cold. I pity the duck's poor little webbed feet.

Oh Mary, I was just at Kay's blog and told her that I am not a cold weather girl...at all. But when I see images like hers or yours, I long for snow. It is pure and white and has a way of making everything seem so pure and clean. Beautifully done.
Mary MacADNski: I'm not a cold weather girl either but was born in it. I would rather be on my favorite beach in Mexico looking at photos of ice and snow to tell you the truth.
Very nice shot Mary. I like the icy blue/purple color
Mary MacADNski: I was thinking I might try to lighten it a bit but my attempts at post processing have not been good.

Oh this is amazing. I looove this Mary.
Mary MacADNski: You will like tomorrow's even more, I'd say.
Almost like footprints in water (not frozen) - nice...
Mary MacADNski: These ones are frozen solid. I pity those poor webbed feet.

So simple and yet so mysterious
Mary MacADNski: I am getting a reminder to watch my language. I hope I didn't offend somehow. If you've not complained, please ignore. I've had this message once before when I hadn't used bad language.

Now that looks seriously cold Mary. (The songs not playing again today)

Whatever it was either had warm feet or was lucky not to sink. Well spotted smile
Mary MacADNski: I think that it's cool that the water was freezing just at the point of the duck walking through. Ducks have been known to freeze in.
Nice detail!
Mary MacADNski: Gracias, Jose-Angel.
