At first I thought the swans were frozen in the fresh layer of ice on the lake, but then ... more about it later in this post.
FROSTY-ICY
Season Hunt - Winter Hunt
Before I begin, let me tell you about the Season Hunt: since the beginning of Autumn, Barbara Orenya | @barbara-orenya is hosting a Challenge in the FeelGood Community:
Season Hunt
Every week a new theme is announced which suits to the actual season. At the moment we are having the Winter Hunt and this week's theme is:
https://ecency.com/hive-190931/@barbara-orenya/season-hunt-challenge-the-theme)
It's Winter, it's frosty and it's icy - oh yes, it's cold here and ice is all around. I wouldn't even have needed to get out to take icy images - a walk to our balcony would have been enough to take a few icy photos from the neighborhood ❄️
But because I need a little bit of fresh air sometimes, I went for a few walks to take the images in this post.

The first three photos were taken in a nice little gorge about half an hour from my home. The snow was deep and luckily the hike was short, so after about 45 minutes of trudging through the snow I arrived at the icywaterfall in the photo above. On my way back to the car I took the two photos below, which are more intimate intimate landscape images in my eyes.

Last weekend and today I went for a morning walk at the reservoir where I often go for a walk. The next four images are from the first walk.

The ice on the lake wasn't as clear as I was hoping for, but nevertheless it was there and I love the colour grading from green to dark blue due to the plants and the ground below the ice.

Later I have found quite clear ice on two little waterfalls along the path. I always wonder why I don't meet anybody there. All people walk on the other side of the reservoir, but almost no one here in the woods. But I do not mind at all and enjoy having it all for me alone 😁

Yesterday we have visited my parents and as usual I escaped for a while into the woods and to a waterfall. The waterfall photos will have to wait for a while until I like them, because at the moment I don't, but I have taken a photo of a frosty leaf on snow.

Today I have missed some quite nice sunrise colours because I didn't think there would be much to see because of a cloudy evening and night. I didn't mind a lot, because there will always be another morning and another sunrise 🌅
There was not much ice on the lake due to some warm days last week, but last night was quite cold, so a more or less thin layer of ice was still on the lake.

Now back to the opening sentence of my post ... at first I thought the swans were frozen in the fresh ice on the lake, but then they started their daily morning ritual, which is cleaning themselves 😄
And then I saw that just around them there was no ice. Click on the image to see it better.
 [click for fullsize] |
Because the ice wasn't very photogenic I thought I could take some more frosty images, but there wasn't even a lot of frost.
 [click for fullsize] |
And because there wasn't a lot of frost, I just enjoyed the rest of my walk and on my way back I took one more shot of the branch I have photographed before.

So, this was my hunt for this week. I hope you enjoyed the Frosty-Icy images from my home.

Second photograph of water flowing, icicles hanging like diamonds around the falls captures the full feel of the motion in the picture.
Good to see the swans were clear to take their morning ablutions without fear of being stuck on an ice pond.
Visit to parents home with interesting surroundings, photography will I am sure turn out superb once you take a look at them.
Have a wonderful new week!

Good morning Joan,
at first I didn't like the second photo, but while editing I realized it isn't that bad 😁 thank you so much, Joan 😊
I think I remember that it happened that swans have had to be saved because they were frozen on a lake.
Some images have to wait for a few days or even weeks until I look at them, especially when I don't like them on first glance 😂 !LOLZ
Wishing you also a wonderful week and maybe some clouds bringing cooling rain 🌧️

Second photo gave a little cool feel of flowing and ice hanging in there!
No clouds, burning sun for the next days once again, back to hot!
Well enjoy the photographs when you get to them, something to take your mind off of work.

When I was younger there was a rule that said we could go home for the rest of the day if it had 28C at 9 or 10am. I think that's a temperature you can only smile at, but here it was called "hitzefrei" what means something like "free due to heat" 😉

Our schools and outdoor workers would be sent home when it hit 32C not sure if they still adhere to that.
Back in under the airconditioner now after walking Woody watching some large eagles using thermals. Too high to photograph, they are so graceful when climbing to heights where they in the clouds.
!BEER at sunset 😆
Since most companies have air conditioners nobody is allowed to go home anymore, even not the kids, I believe.
Must have been amazing to see these eagles. I should look up more often, I think 😉

Only outdoor construction workers, not sure about the children with schools only opening properly full time once again yesterday, most schools have fans in the class room at the least in city regions.
We have three eagle species around at the moment, possibly some passing through and always a joy to watch them.

Hi Hannes, I love your ice themed photos, so very pretty. It is amazing that you have so much snow and ice near you and I have sand and blue ocean in a temperate sub-tropic climate. The world is so diverse.
The icy waterfall is very impressive and I my favourite. Thank you for the touch of cool ice feel. Regards Angie🌻
There is nothing nice graceful white swans and the 2 in your photo are lovely.
Winter is an amazing season, Angie, and I'm hoping it isn't over yet. The snow simplifies all the scenes, covers the distracting elements in landscapes, just like the sand in deserts or on beaches.
Thanks so much for your nice words, Angie, I always appreciate your kind comments and hope you're having a nice Sunday 🌞

Hi Hannes. I’m happy to see the swans weren’t stuck on the lake. Great shots for this Hunt. The intimate landscape images are amazing. The love the colors on the lake of blue and green and the frost on the leaves.
Nice you got to visit your parents and a walk in the woods with the opportunity to take photos of the waterfall.
It’s been a rainy day here and that is helping melt some of the snow. ☔️
Have a wonderful Wednesday dear Hannes. 🤗
Hi Jo,
thanks a million for the reblog and for everything 😊 and thanks for your kind words, much appreciated as always 🤗
On Monday it has rained here too, but at the moment it's sunny and even warm outside. But I don't give up the hope for at least one more phototrip in fresh snow ❄️😉
I'm wishing you also a wonderful Wednesday, dear Jo 🤗🌞

If that would have been the case I think it would have been the first time, doesn't it? I've never seen frozen swans but at the taxidermist 😂 ... if I was there you would have seen a frozen drakernoise instead 🤣
Your shots as always are amazing but you live in a beautiful place where you're gifted with beautiful (frozen) views so I will congratulate your close nature too hahaha.
Wish you a not so frozen week but a lovely one Johann ;)
What a nice comment minutes before I go to bed 😊
I am not sure but I think I remember reading news about frozen swans a while ago. If it's right, then they must have slept too deep and didn't notice the fast growing ice.
Thank you so much kindly for your nice words and compliments, my friend, I am wishing you also a wonderful week ahead 🌞
PS, I will tell your kind words to my nature here 😁
