Cathedral of Ice

I was watching a documentary on an under sea expedition in antartica. They were investigating what was causing the demise of the krill, favorite food of whales and other sea life. Divers went under the ice with cameras. The result..a bonus. Described by one immersed in the experience as “under sea cathedrals…”, very appropriately so…
The colors cast onto the ice by daylight was an amazing sight. It looked like the northern lights viewed from under water and ice.

High Tide

a row in nature
can’t stem the moon’s attraction
for the earth – high tide

Yesterday there was a snow storm that dumped over 2 feet of snow on us. The underlying worry was the possibility of flooding due to 50 mile per hour winds further heightening the tide.

the moon claims
her nearness to the earth
regardless of the costs

We got lucky!!
