Moving in a little closer though, I could see the face of a blue jay. Can you see it?
I don't have too many Posts of the Week this week as we've all been pretty busy with the holidays, but few are better than none so I decided to post this small collection rather than skip it until next time.
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

Thank you.
Wonderful Artistic view. Loved the walk with you .
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a seahorse to me. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHilary: Your photography inspired a pleasant accident: I managed to film3 seconds of my balcony Christmas light after fumbling outside in the dark with the batteries running low! My photos will never be as cool as yours, but I'm making progress. I see the bird you've described! Hope your Christmas was particularly nice!
ReplyDeleteI loved the reader's choice post. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI posted ysterday a picture of an ice creature too! :)
What a beautiful display of natures' creativity and elegance.
ReplyDeleteBEautiful

The Dolphin was easy to see. I did find the Blue Jay as well. That is great photography.
ReplyDeletelove the 'blue' jay! :)
ReplyDeleteoo i see some good ones on there...congrats everyone...and nice pic hilary....
ReplyDeleteI will now be looking for animals in ice everywhere I walk :) I love the close up of the beautiful blue <3
ReplyDeleteI saw the dolphin right away
ReplyDeleteI love being under the heading of wry
thanks so much Hilary
I too saw the dolphin right away, Hilary. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful comments you leave regularly on my blog. I will be buying a new camera soon and am thinking that I really need to upgrade. I've got all your previous emails with some ideas.
ReplyDeleteBut the eye behind the camera will never be as wonderful as yours. I have learned so much from you, though. :-)
You are so faithful to this listing. Loyal blogger!
ReplyDeleteMy blog friend DJan referred me to your blog a while back, and I have you on my blog list, so I check in occasionally. Djan recommended you for your wonderful photography, and of course I agree. Photography is a particular interest of mine too. And my blog is also meme-free! Why be limited in subject matter?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I just thought I'd check in this time and let you know I'm out here in blog land.
Great pics, as usual. I saw the bird first.
Oh yes, I love it too when ice freezes like that!
ReplyDeleteyour ice picture looks like a geode to me.
ReplyDeleteLike the Blue Jay. One of my favorite birds -- but they are fairly feisty!!
ReplyDeleteI have not been around for a few months but hope to get back into the swing of things again.
Always enjoy stopping your blog and taking in the beautiful images.
I see a mushroom. I had trouble seeing a dolphin. Right now my imagination is stifled. My artistic side will be coming out of hiding again soon.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a creative eye :-). I hope you are having a wonderful holiday :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was a good choice, the stoies all had a good feel.Lovely frozen finds also.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm loving the puddles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the extra added treats for my Christmas, Hilary. As you may know, we don't actually exchange gifts until January 6th (Epiphany, or Little Christmas, or Feast of the Three Kings), so it's always a thrill to find more Christmas stuff to see and hear when so much of it shuts down at midnight on the 25th!
ReplyDeleteI can hear the snap, crackle and pop when one walks across filo layers of ice.
ReplyDeleteImaginative photography at its best!
Yes, i can see them, with your eye picking them up and pointing them out.
ReplyDeleteI have no trouble with the spotting the dolphin..very clever.. but I'm just not seeing the blue jay...but that's OK, I enjoyed the quick walk with you anyway! I want your brain so I can see all the cool things you do in every day life!
ReplyDeleteDolphins, bluejays and I see a dinosaur hiding under water with its beady eyes, just waiting to bite somebody. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove that icy swirl.
Hilary! I am finally catching up on reading posts. Christmas took longer to recuperate from this year:)
ReplyDeleteI like your ice capture...did you get the storm they were warning about?
I'm glad that caught your eye! Lovely and I see the dolphin and the bluejay! Thanks for sending us to some great blog-reading!
ReplyDeleteI do love the thin, crunchy ice. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hillary, so much for making one of my posts POTW. I love when people come by and tell me they've come from you...

As always I am totally intimidated by the vast number of notes on your entries, but I bravely wanted to say....wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful puddles! And thanks for presenting the Posts of the Week. Always good.
ReplyDeleteWow Hilary...thank you for including my post this week!!! Love your ice photos too!
ReplyDeleteI see the bluejay :) Wonderful finding nature's puzzle pieces!
ReplyDeletei'm so loving your stunning photography!
ReplyDeletethanks for this delightful post!
