Ice ...

Wendy, Sooki and I went for a long walk today in the Sackville Woods near where I live.  

The walk through the woods is pretty easy as there is so little snow. 

The trail lead out of the woods onto an old blocked off access road. From there it went to the Sackville River; where a lovely sight quite perplexed me.

The rocks were decorated with ice.

I was totally intrigued -- and puzzled.

As I made my way farther downstream I marvelled that ice formations continued all the way down the river.

Notice that that chunk of ice on the right of the centre is hanging from a branch !

I don't know for sure, but I imagine that these ice shapes were created when the water was higher and wilder though we haven't had any rain lately nor any significant storms.  

I don't recall ever seeing something like this before.

Have you ?
