Sangamon River Ice Macro

Took the opportunity to swing by Lincoln Trail Homestead Park located in W Macon County IL on Wednesday. Wasn't expecting to see much but simply wanted to get some exercise despite being a balmy 20 degrees. Wandering down to the banks of the Sangamon River which is exceptionally low right now, I came upon numerous unusual frost and ice formations making for a worthwhile photographic opportunity. The large droplet on the end of the stick defies logic as there wasn't any water near it. Towards the end of my visit, I was treated to the distant call of an eagle located somewhere downstream.













Another one that defies logic though I imagine this came about as water levels dropped.

You keep hitting 'em out of the park, man. Keep it up!

Thanks Dann. Hindsight being what it is, I think this is all fairly common but since most people shy away from being out during intense cold, we tend to miss it.
