Frozen Water Bubbles Under Icy Pond

[best appreciated at full size against black]

Looking around for interesting frost shots a few weeks ago, I made my way down to our seasonal pond. There hadn't been much rain so there was only a small amount of water in it. I was delighted to find a thick coating of ice on the surface, with frozen air bubbles encasing leaves under the surface. Here are some bubbles encased just under the surface of the pond. If you look closely, you can see the shapes of leaves under the ice! :D

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
