The fountain

Pat and Connie have a beautiful fountain made from a tree stump and its roots. At any time of year it’s striking and unique.

For most of last week we barely got above freezing temperatures and the fountain was magical with ice cascading in glacial stillness.

Landscape ice is a novelty for this former Californian. But when it forms as it did on this fountain it seems simply glorious to me.

I’ve seen ice sculptures that are beautiful art forms. But Mother Nature does a mighty nice job on her own, don’t you think?

  1. I would call these icy figures “draperies.” Very interesting. BTW, I’ll bet there are people who will come to your home and cook you a great dinner. I know they’ll buy the groceries and bring them to your house, so maybe you can talk them into taking that extra step? 🙂

  2. Wow, amazing images! In the first photo, the ice with the tree stump almost takes on an animal form. Second photo looks like someone dancing. Mother Nature at her best.

  3. I like the look. Kind of an ice nature sculpture and when the sun shines on it, you’ll have a new design to photograph. Very nice and creative Kay!
