frozen wetlands



On our walk through the Shelby wetlands yesterday, we noticed that one area had flooded, then frozen, leaving a hard, glassy surface to reflect the brilliant sunlight. In the summer, this particular area is usually overgrown with brush or soft and swampy, but we were lucky enough to catch it at a time when it offered a rare solid base for the dark trees sprouting through; yet another example of winter's harsh drama.
