Ice bubbles and metamorphic fragments Race Brook Falls Trail, Southwest Massachusetts. Dave and I are the “maintainers” of this blue trail connecting Rt. 41 to the Appalachian Trail and we have to hike it regularly to make sure it’s clear. It’s about 2 miles of steep switchbacks from the parking lot to the AT intersection. [...]

On the Appalachian Trail between Hubbard Brook and Rt. 7 near Sheffield, Massachusetts. This was the finest collection of ice patterns I’d ever seen in my many years of looking for and shooting them. This was a shallow swamp right on the trail with a small crumbling bridge/boardwalk running through it. On either side of [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. This part of the Carse Brook swamp is an abandoned beaver pond that ha the brook running through the middle of it. Where Dave is standing on grass used to be under water when the beaver pond was active. This is a depression in the old bottom of the Carse Brook beaver [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. Hiking back from the Pine Swamp beaver pond I stopped to shoot a small outcropping of icicles and dripping ice on a small cliff face. I haven’t shot this type of ice much before and it’s a bit tougher than shooting down on flat ice; the depth of it makes finding interesting [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. Another trip to the Pine Swamp Beaver ecosystem last week during a cold snap to explore and take pictures. These ice shots were taken in a small waterway feeding into the main pond from upstream. This is actually frozen foam and tree reflection.

Thayer Brook, Schaghticoke Ridge, Appalachian Trail, Kent, Connecticut. Dave and I took a quick hike south on the AT to shoot ice on this brook. I used both the G15 and RX100 and got a few keepers from each. These are ice drippings (stalagmites) under a waterfall and while it was tough to shoot these [...]

Race Brook Falls Trail, Southwest Massachusetts. I took a solo hike to shoot ice and it was about 5 degrees Fahrenheit out. This was a beautiful, still, and extremely cold day and I thought the ice on Race Brook would be good to shoot. There were no other cars in the small parking area nor [...]

Warren, Connecticut. During the deep freeze a week ago I went into our backyard to photograph the ice on our stream. This beautiful chunk was over a rock, standing on its own in the center of the stream. It was like an iceberg except it wasn’t floating, it was really just a rock that had [...]

New York, Connecticut border south of Kent, Connecticut. Dave and I hiked from Bull’s Bridge north along the Appalachian Trail along Schaghticoke Ridge with this small stream as our destination. This was a group of bubbles frozen into the ice in a way that made them look like concrete aggregate cut in cross section.
