It's Almost Spring

The following six photographs of the ice formation on our chimney were shot over a period of 48 hours. In the first shot the face has very defined features, but as time went by and the ice face and the rest of the ice formation started to melt, the features melted and transformed.

The ice face at this point seemed to have a mask around it's eyes.

Here the ice face looks like a guard at an Egyptian tomb protecting the mummy.

Here the face resembles molten metal like in the movie Terminator.

Chipmunk.

Gray Squirrel.

Burning Box.
