Spring break up on Lake Manitoba can make for some interesting ice formations.
Winter Lake View, Frozen Waters, Icy Reflections, and Covered Trees in a Serene Nature Landscape
“... like something almost being on the edge of conscious thought, came the image of the melting ice and ice water dripping into the lake. ... A collage of color swirling together like a dreamy watercolor painting.” ― Jennifer James
Lake ice along the shore of Lake Mendota, the result of a midwinter thaw. Seen from Marshall Park, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

Yesterday, I went for a walk along the shore of Lake Ontario. I was surprised to find that the tree I came to photograph, along with many others, was gone! Instead, I captured a different scene: a large maple tree positioned on the right third of the frame alongside a small escarpment that stretches across the horizontal part of the photo. On the left third of the shot, there is an ice mound.
High winds created these interesting ice formations on the shore
I almost didn't post this photo. It felt wrong to take a photo of the young swan who had just lost his parent and was undoubtedly grieving. He stayed by the lifeless, half eaten body of an adult swan for two days, waiting for it to wake up and care for him again. (Tundra swan cygnets stay with their parents for the first winter, sometimes even two years.) He didn't join the other swans who were in a distance. He didn't fly south with them. He just stood on the ice, looking at his deceased mom or dad. For two days.
Nature is so beautiful, yet cruel and unforgiving.
Grace and Peace little one ❤️
An alert polar bear is reflected in the ice as she walks across some lake ice near the shores of Hudson Bay. This is was taken on the last day of October in 2020 (I'm pretty far behind in getting these shots edited) and that year bears were able to leaving shore ~12-14 of November, close to traditional freeze-up dates. 11/02/2024 www.allenfotowild.com
A relaxed polar bear sits on the ice in some fresh snow on a fresh water lake near the shores of Hudson Bay and enjoys some late day sun. The bears are waiting for sea ice on the bay to freeze so they can go offshore to hunt seals.

This photograph was taken on Lake Winnipeg in early January of 2024. The metal structure is part of an old boat pier that was left along the shores and made for a great framing opportunity with the early morning sunrise. I love the warm purples and pinks in the sunrise and the fact that there are tiny fishing shacks in the back left side of the photo really helps to show the details behind what Manitobans do on Lake Winnipeg in the frigid cold of winter.
