In reply to Jacqueline. Hi Jacqueline - glad you liked the photos. It was exciting, all right! The more recent storms have missed us, though, and I'm worried that the rest of the winter might be pretty dull.

The photo of the tree trunk covered in fungi is a knockout. Then I moved down your post & thought “Is that ice?” Yes it was. Must have been a mix of fear & excitement for you. This looks to be wild territory. Great post. I’ve come from Festival of the Trees & will be back again. There is much to read.

Amazing photography – what fungi, too! Greetings (via FOTT) from South Wales, UK.

In reply to Susan. "Rebar" is such a cool word. I must use it more often!

In reply to Bill. I had that thought too, Bill -- or something pretty similar. The trees all look fine now, but the riverbank sure is scoured.

I like the architecture. Its rebar is a bit more flexible than its superstructure, a good quality for all weathers.

How freakin’ aquatic every living thing in a flood plain must be else it loose its life in a flood. There must be so many that are of the soil that are also ready to “breath” water.

In reply to James. Yeah, the rings were cool. Glad you dug the pictures. I hear the panhandle has been getting some hellacious winter weather!

I love those rings (where I assume the ice is thicker?) around the trunks of the trees. Needless to say we don’t see anything like that down here in Texas so it’s nice to see these winter images.
