It has an oriental ink bamboo feel about it. A beautiful shot indeed!

brilliant Keith. I love a perfect simple shot like this

Oh wow...that's really beautiful, Keith. Love the details of the grass in that freezing water. YIKES that is cold indeed. Makes a lovely picture though...so pretty!

Thanks for the remarks on my bee picture. No way would she survive very long out in that cold with nothing to eat. So guess what I did? I gently flicked her off the wall and into a glass jar. I have her in the kitchen now with some sticks to climb on, a piece of paper towel soaked with water, and droplets of honey to eat. The second it became warmer she started walking around. I haven't actually seen her eating but I'm sure she has been. Anyway, I'm going to try to keep her comfortable until the weather is appropriate for her. :)

You're just a big softy really :))

An excellent image in wonderful light Keith, the icy water looks cold but a lovely texture to the image,
Coincidence but I was arranging with my step son earlier today a visit to our local Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust site at Steart Marshes in the coming week

Hope your visit goes better than mine.............most birds were in hiding!

Beautifully composed shot. So elegant.

so beautiful
Happy new week:)

A perfect shot, the composition is spot on. I love the blue and gold! Just my sort of weather, cold, clear and sunny:-)

Wonderful minimalism Keith.

Thank you all for your generous comments.

Brrrr...it really does look as the title suggests! Well seen and beautifully taken Keith.

Thanks Rosa..............it was definitely a hat and gloves day!

Ein schönes Motiv! Das dünne Eis taut, aber ist der Winter schon vorüber?

Thanks Wilhelm. I don't think winter is quite over yet, although this week is turning out to be much warmer..............but wetter and greyer..!!

We can't have everything I suppose :-)

Great capture

You're very kind. Thank you.

so wonderful ***
