Ice coated branches, Lighthouse Point, Two Harbors
After all of the cold weather we have had in the past few weeks I am surprised to see that Lake Superior is still open with very little ice cover. There are plenty of other telltale signs of the frigid weather on the shore of the lake. This shrub entombed in ice glowing in the late day sun made me wonder if all that ice hurts the plant or does it act like a protective layer? I guess I will have to wait until spring to find out.
The color is extraordinary, it almost looks like its on fire.
Damn Clint, your good! Awesome photo.
