Dropping temperatures combined with wind driven waves splashing on the shore mold a solid snow globe effect on sticks and plants creating a temporary crystal laden shoreline.
On cold, clear, still night’s ice begins to creep out from the shorelines and banks of ponds, lakes and streams creating an edge between liquid and solid.
Ice forms intercepting crystal puzzle patterns that reach out across a body of water until it covers a puddle a pond or lake becoming thicker and stronger until one day the sun shines stronger and warmer causing the ice to retreat back to hide under the shores and banks.
