Ice on Rust

A series of freezing nights have added their drama to the days’ snow showers. Trailing grasses dangle flares of ice down to the stream, snow covered rocks have crinkled toes and, in places, the water’s surface carries a film of ice. Under a grey sky the stream is rust-stained and vivid, the apparent warmth of the rock at odds with the snow and ice. Small bubbles of air borrow from the shapes in the ice above as the water traces a hasty path between the rocks.
