An ancient oak stands like a dancer with it's arms outstretched either side. Frost clings to its branches and snow covers golden ferns in the foreground.

I’ve been fascinated with these rare ice formations, called HAIR ICE for some time. Today finally I found some on our hike in a hilly wooded area, inaccessible on foot, so I zoomed in with my telephoto…

Rare ice formations on rotting wood, called Hair ice.

“How does hair ice form?

The conditions required for the formation of hair ice are extremely specific, hence the relative scarcity of sightings. To form, moist rotting wood from a broadleaf tree is required with the presence of moist air and a temperature slightly below 0 °C. It is generally confined to latitudes between 45°N and 55°N.

In 2015 the scientists Hofmann, Mätzler and Preuß determined the exact cause of the hair ice phenomenon, linking its formation to the presence of a specific fungus called Exidiopsis effusa.

They discovered that the presence of the fungus led to a process called 'ice segregation'. When water present in the wood freezes it creates a barrier that traps liquid between the ice and the pores of the wood. This creates a suction force which pushes water out of the pores to the edge of the ice surface where it freezes and extends outwards. As this repeats it pushes a thin 'hair' of ice out of the wood which is around 0.01 mm in diameter.”

This image is called Light in the Dark. It was taken after 'fog hunting' in #tasmania. and driving the backroads to get back to #hobart. I had noticed that the sun was piercing through plantation forest so I hopped out to see what I could find.

It took me a couple of years to release this image but it's since become a firm favorite. A gallery visitor described it as being the hope that no matter how dark life gets, that there will always be light.

Trump Said Cuts Wouldn’t Affect Public Safety. Then He Fired Hundreds of Workers Who Help Fight Wildfires.
—

The White House and DOGE have sought to eliminate thousands of jobs from the Forest Service. The wildland firefighting force is one of many targets within the agency.

Life is made up of many ordinary moments, as well as fewer -- but quite memorable -- extraordinary ones.

May we be wise enough to see the beauty of each, taking time to fully experience and enjoy their meaning and depth.

Neither one had a searchlight, or one of those million-watt flashlights that run out of battery power after an hour or so.

They just had candles, small flames of golden glow that didn't command the attention of the surrounding countryside and beyond, but did provide enough light for their needs.

A small light, in the right place, illuminates.

I’ve been following up on a Barred Owl family with three chicks. Love this captured moment as sunlight filtered through the trees of a dense PNW forest.

A cute barred owlet perches gracefully on a moss-covered branch, surrounded by the rich, dark textures of a dense forest of the Pacific Northwest. They've fledged along with two siblings just over two weeks ago and I've been following their developments.
Captured them at the right moment when sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating the baby owl's intricate feather patterns and creating a serene, natural atmosphere at an Edmonds park in Washington state.

He had been walking steadily, purposefully, intent upon getting a certain number of miles under his feet, exploring as much landscape as he could before he needed to turn back and reach camp before nightfall.

But then he stopped, just stopped, to immerse himself in fully looking at his surroundings.
