Capturing Winter Ice
Uploaded: March 23, 2010 05:25:48
A photo of hubby snapping the big blue ice shards that jutted from Lake Huron.
We had to be careful and the windchill was numbing but we had fun that day! The whole scene looked like sugar coated rock candy.
More Lake Huron ice photos are in my gallery.
